Least he speaks his mind unlike the politically correct society we live in :)

Reminds me of the great Roy Keane moment:

Roy "Ref, if I call you a **** will you send me off?"

Ref "Of course"

Roy "What if I think you're a ****?"

Ref "Well I can't send you off for what you think"

Roy "In which case, I think you're a ****"

(He got a red card).

And so . . . . if I say you are a ****, presumably you'll find that refreshingly honest? :smile:

What level are you fighting at?
Money in Boxing isn't actually that good unless you're hitting European level. OF course you can earn a living off boxing if you fight domestically but it's certainly not worth bragging about it on NSC.

Nonetheless, it's always good to hear of a successful boxer coming out of Brighton. Other than Lloyd Ellett (Albion fan) and Chris Eubank jr, I don't know of any other semi successful Brighton boxers. I'm assuming you're one of the two?

Two things

1) He wasn't bragging. Just making a point.
2) It's not sensible to start arguments with pro-boxers :smile:

So if someone tells you they're a boxer, you're instantly in fear of them?

and who said southerners were fairies?

No wonder Withdean11 boxes in Hyde (Hattons gym)

Thats him doesnt he have a university agree and took up boxing seriously at Uni? Wasnt there also another one from Wales?

James Bonecrusher Smith had a USA Uni degree I think.

Current Welsh Light Heavyweight Nathan Cleverly is a maths graduate.

Money is not good? Wow, you must know more than me then. I never said I was earning a fortune, just that I am earning more than people I know who have degrees. You know, as I explained, to make the point that this was a choice for me and there's not just "a reason why I'm a boxer".

You'll be hard to find me bragging (seems you are the only one who thought that) but unfortunately for you, no, I am not making a career as a journey man.

Unlike Lloyd and Chris, Brighton is not my 'hometown'.

I posted some questions for you in post 123 :smile:

Back onto the subject of Tyson, disgusting decision from the IBF to strip him of the belt for signing a rematch clause before he was even champion.

Certain sports seem to have in ingrained ability to consistently cut their nose off to spite their face.

.

You were offended by an earlier post of mine where I mentioned Tyson Fury being a boxer for a reason.

Did you not notice above that sentence was also a comment by me mentioning how he's being treated like a major politician?

Why has that offended you and why are you trying to make out as if I'm attacking all boxers?
