Just found this in my inbox from god knows who, was sent from a BT payphone to my email address which is listed here. I can only assume someone has tracked my email which is listed here.

"You really are a moron and a vicious gossip, you would not last 10 seconds in the ring."

Just wondered if anyone had the decency to actually own up to this anonymous message.

At least I have the bollocks to use my real name on here, and link it to my email.

As far as I am aware, I don't recally spreading any vicious gossip about any fighters, aside from the speculation regarding Vitali Klitchsko's dramatic weight loss recently. I find it unlikely Vitali is emailing me from a callbox however.

As for lasting 10 seconds in the ring, I'm not a fighter, so it's not really an issue.

It must be someone that you proved wrong at some time, or another. Funny, these jerk-offs who do things of this nature must think that petty insults really upsets people. Personally, I get a chuckle out of such things because if someone has went through the special trouble to send me an abusive e-mail then I must have really made the person look stupid, but as I'm sure you expect, it's doubtful if anyone would own up to it!

wasnt me mate not even for a giggle.

forget it there are some right fuckin twats out there as some recent pms ive received have proved.

thankfully it seems to have halted now.

dont suppose u get a phone no or anything with the message? could trace it to an area code at least..

Not worth worrying about mate to be honest.

water off a ducks back Jim!

Why didn't they just make up a yahoo email to mail u? Very strange, hardly an insult really, how does he know you wouldn't last 10secs in the ring - you may be Britians next HW World Champ for all he knows....................GO ON AUDLEY Seriously throw down the a challenge and say you'll spar a few rounds with whoever mailed you - make them feel like a dick because they won't step up for it. They could have sent a more insulting or threatening letter. Maybe its someone that knows you personally??? Sounds like the work of Lirva or boxingchat

what kind of man would call another a "vicious gossip" though?

Good call, it is probably an ex-girlfriend

Maybe she/he had a different ring in mind James lol

From time to time I get the odd death threat also

Keyboard warriors

Some guy on here who was trying to sell DVD`s was about the best, he`d made a sick comment about Watson and McClellan and I`d urged people to read the comment before ordering from him

He loved that

He too was a keyboard warrior
He was probably about 14yrs old and didn`t have any friends to protect him from the local girls who pick on him
Don`t you just love em

Not me neither mate.

As someone else has pointed out though "Vicious gossip" is a bit well, naff as insults go, isn't it?

Kind of reminds me about when an ex-girlfriend of mine once got hold of my (then) new girlfriend's phone number and informed her that I was (and I quote) a "barely above average lay".

Which I was quite chuffed about, all things considered...

Anyway. No. No idea who mailed you. Strange people about...

Yeah, would it not have come with an adress, albeit a phonebox one, from which you could get the area or phone bt or something?

For what it's worth it wasn't me either. I may be sad, but I draw the line at bumbling about public telephones between xmas and New Year sending random e-mails to starngers

Not to mention strangers

Well, we can only assume it to be the lunatic utterance of a sad, lonely drunken gimboid with an axe to grind, who took time out of their christmas to stagger to the phone box and stamp in the numbers with their ham-like fists.

Dear oh Dear. This used to be a friendly forum. We seem to have attracted a few pricks of late.

I didnt know Vitali had lost weight, whats the story James?

BTW Merry Christmas, and a happy new year to you.

He looked emaciated at the recent WBC conference in Cancun.

Weird. Don't know how you brought that spineless behaviour upon yourself James. Still, I doubt it's bothering you.

Whoever did it is clearly a bit of a tosser.

I remember 1 bloke off ebay threatened to come down 1 weekend and give me a kicking because he didnt like the product I sold him. I waited up all weekend never came.

Any ideas about the reason for Vitali's weight loss?... could this be connected to his retirement...

Always a bit offputting when someone leaves nasty emails like that, but its usually the work of a coward who would never take you on face to face so I wouldn't worry... 8)

Had my share of nasty PM's in the past, but thankfully no e-mails.

Wasn't me James.

Its a strange one, most of the internet warriors as people call them, haven't set foot in a ring themselves. Cannot see which boxer you have offended, apart from Klitchsko.

hahahahahah - "barely above average lay"?! Has to be about the weakest insult I can possibly envisage of an ex..
