[Other Sport] Ex footballers in the Boxing ring, who would you match and be happy to pay to watch?

So with the Dunk v Maguire thing drawing a bit of attention, could it end up with another big payday when they retire?


Who would drag in the punters?

I would love to see Vinnie Jones V Gary linker.

Would it be bare-knuckle fighting, cage fighting, boxing or wrestling?


I can see Savage in a leotard now, Robbie not lily.

Roy Keane v Joey Barton

Sensible answer. Shane Duffy’s probably got a good right hook on him.

Any random pairing? Would be quite amusing to see some PL managers square up. Sean Dyche would obviously be the winner.

I remember seeing Alladyce play. I wouldn't like to have messed with him when he was in his prime

Clearly because his age, Dyche would have the better of him but at the same age, my money would be on BFS

Yes, maybe we could have ex-managers and their players, I wonder if Gus might like a pop at a few in his time?

BFS could still probably take a few punches I reckon. Ditto Steve Bruce. Wouldn’t go down easy.

Mick Harford vs Billy Whitehurst. Scary

Blimey, GB, you're sharp today.


Come on crack a smile, it is alright to have fun on this forum, isn't it


Who knows Gazza might throw a lucky punch

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Franny Lee and Billy Bremner would have been a good watch.

 

[allystrat]

Duncan Ferguson v Barton, Diouff, Jones etc

 

[BN9 BHA]

Zaha v Jack Sockboy would be fun, who would take a dive first?

 

[Sheebo]

They would just be there protecting their hair and not throwing any punches though

Oh yes, fast and furious windmills

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Roy Keane vs Graeme Souness

Doug Rougvie vs Zaha [emoji23]

I know the obvious choices would be Viera v Keane, Bremner v Alan Ball ect ect but I wonder who would be the stand out footballer cum boxer no one could deck.

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Venables V Mullery, could have been a bit tasty.

I don't know, Zaha could be a bit of a handful.

Pat Nevin vs Graeme Le Saux

I reckon it would go 15 rounds without a punch being thrown and the result would be decided over a cup of coffee and a discussion of the merits of Jean-Paul Sartre.
