I paid £150 for an average seat for Mike Tyson v Julian Francis in Manchester years ago for a nothing fight therefore £150 today for a heavyweight unification fight is cheap. Actually I think I was just ripped off like everyone else.

Forget he did this in the States.Fact is he would have taken the goalie in any league because that shot was amazing.

AJ by 7.

I liked them both also but Hagler was a legend. Big fan of Benn and who can forget his fight against McClellan. Fan of Bruno before he got found out. Fan of Prince Naz. Met Micheal Watson at a wedding years after that fight.What a guy.

Damn it we forgot Hagler !!! Yes those big fights live on ITV before Sky took over.If I remember correctly ITV didn't have a build up like Sky with the fights beforehand.They just went straight to the time the big fight was scheduled and maybe caught just the end of the previous fight.

Surely? It's already 10 and this could go all the way.

Had Cus not died so early in Tyson's career then I think things may have been different. Cus as I'm sure you know was like a father to Tyson and they lived together in a big house in Catskill with other young boxers. Yes that was a great time for boxing.Leonard,Hearns and Duran in particular all...

Taken at the gym in Catskill where Tyson learned his trade.This was 2002. I spent a few months there with friends and met Kevin Rooney at the gym. It was great to visit the gym I'd seen so many times on tv and speak to people who went to school with him and knew him etc including those friends...

Yes for sure he wasn't a boxer but a puncher.Probably his size would have meant trying to be a boxer wouldn't have worked as he was short by heavyweight standards.

I usually don't leave early if I get the train but if I get the coach then there's no point whatsoever. It leaves 30 mins after the game so it's a luxury watching the game knowing you can relax. Would be great if the coach was paid for in the match ticket same as the train.

Exactly. Time and time again people moan about early leavers even though the Amex is crap to get to and leave but no-one gives a monkey about those missing half the game for a pint.It hardly get's mentioned.Maybe that's because those moaning are the ones who are guilty of this.

Parker is a nice guy.Maybe too nice.In boxing it helps if you can hate your opponent and want to put him in hospital.

I don't think he was just a beast.He had great movement,hand speed and accuracy. The shame of it is that we never saw the best of him because before he could peak he met Robin Givens and from there on in it was downhill all the way.

I know zilch about Wolves however 15m in the Championship these days is that alot.What about the Prem teams that get relegated with squads worth millions and millions.They don't often go back up.I think the Wolves manager deserves alot of credit.

What's the record for leaving early before half time for a pint and returning late?

Kids.Now that's another subject.How often do you see kids at the Amex,4/5/6 for example.No interest in the game.Why take them.

The Amex is out there on its own like an island.A pig to get to and from.Falmer station is a tiny provincial station trying to cater for thousands of commuters with no facilities and no cover for queuing in the cold and rain.

I think we both know this is a mere drop in the ocean compared to cycling. Also whereas in cycling those at the very top have been proven to be cheats, in boxing it's not the case. Anyway that's another subject for another day. For today let's concentrate on he who compares himself to Ali.

As I've said before early leavers have an excuse for going early although when you are only losing 1-0 yes it's strange but for me it's those who go and get a pint etc at 39 and return at 52 that I have a problem with.

If I want to post an opinion on here I will dude.If AJs lovers can't take a different opinion from mine and need to drag it out with pathetic and petty tripe it's up to them. Actually I do rate AJ.If you bothered to read my post's you would know I have said he needs to do more before people big...
