Matt Skelton

You people talk bullshit sometimes! Skelton was obviously drugged here! Look at the ref sprinkling something in his eyes! Skelton KO1 Chagaev!!!!!111 your insane and i like it.

yeah, this is the dude MMA fans are using as an example of how "Boxing is a easy and lesser sport". The thing is, $$$ wise, Boxing is were its at. So if it is really that easy, why arent more MMA fighters coming to Boxing to cash in? The normal replies I get are along the lines of: "MMA fighters don't want to cross over to a dying sport" "MMA fighters are real fighters and don't want to limit themselves." ha, oooooook. I thought Skelton was just a kickboxer.

His last fight against fight against michael sprott was nearly unwatchable, absolute shite, the next skelton fight should be PPV, as in frank warren pays me to watch that shit. :lol1: Yer I remember that, it was just before the Khan fight, the whole of the O2 arena in London were booing and chanting "Whatta loada rubbish". Not a great advert for the sport of boxing.

If you could get them all, Audley, Danny and Skelton, and roll them up into one big brown ball, you'd have a decent fighter.

Yeah, Skelton is a right joke. Shows how bad the heavyweights are when he can get a world title shot though lol

Aye. I like him best out of the shit British heavyweights. He seems at least like the one who is overachieving and consistent. No ability, but grinds out wins however possible. Compared to Williams who could have a shot if he wasnt so disgustingly lazy and inconsistent, or Harrison who is all style and skill, no balls, guts or glory.

Some ridiculous statements in this thread. Skelton is shit though, more boring than shit in fact. he's shit and boring. He is however quite clever and uses his size well, grappling and mauling. Horrific fighter. Come fight night I will still want him to win, I had no idea I was patriotic.

the worst boxer to fight for a title ever. He's shit.

lol i dunoo how he got a shot

Fuck! Shit! What are you people talking about?! Skelton is the saviour. :frown:

Its sad to see the Heavyweight division has resorted to giving shite like skelton a title shot because there is no-one else.............

Well he's 22-1 right now (I believe) and he avenged that loss to Williams. He's done a lot better in boxing than he ever did in K1 or MMA.

the press (well the very little press who care about him) have tried turning him into an old mans fairy tale story. no real experience, turns pro very very late, and then gets a title shot. He's a terrible boxer, and its a bit of an embarrasment this is happening.

I looked into Skelton's history and it seems that he was a K1 kickboxer - didn't make any ripples in it; then tried MMA and he got choked out. Now he's fighting for the WBA heavyweight championship, what gives?

skelton is terrible for boxing, i hope chaegev hurts him all over the place

Skelton is a good kickboxer as well. He is a rolemodel for all the old men who want to box, he started as a pro at age 35. He had no knowledge of MMA though.
