The Tocker Pudwill appreciation thread!

Here is the great Tocker's last fight in full which proved one robbery too far and ended his career :( http://www.megavideo.com/?v=02NCMDPL http://www.megavideo.com/?v=IGVOTOSW

The Wrath of DirkDiggler is about to be unleashed on ye! Repent Sinner! Calzaghe ALWAYS chased after the best. It's not his fault they all somehow avoided him. Kinda like how Mike Tyson was ducking all those challenges from Tank Abbot all these years. Dude, Calzaghe postponed a fight with Glen Johnson at 175 twice. Then, after Johnson KO'd Roy Jones, Calzaghe refused to fight him unless he came down to 168, which he knew Glenn Johnson couldn't do. If that isn't avoiding, I don't know what is.

I will tell u this much...Vinny Paz told me after he fought Pudwill that Pudwill was as heavy handed as anyone he ever fought, it surprised him Here in fact is Vinny Paz talking about his epic war with Tocker and just how tough the 'Bizmarck Bomber' was.

Thank God we had real men like Joe Calzaghe fight a scary ATG like Tocker and not duck him like everyone else did. Thats right, Calzaghes always had a reputation for fighting the best and there's no finer example of it than this act of supreme bravery which really cemented his legacy.

I'm not sure the super 6 tournament is a big enough stage to bring the legendary Tocker out of retirement. The only possible temptation for him would be to avenge his brothers loss against Ward. When he inevitably KO's Ward in R1 surely the only thing left for Tocker is to go down to welterweight and mow down Manny if he hasn't already ducked Tocker by retiring before then.

I think Tocker would take out everyone in the Super 6, all by 1st round KO...

He must have been getting Tocker confused with his younger brother Shelby Pudwill who despite having been blessed with admirable boxing ability as you'd expect coming from such a gifted boxing family, was never alltime p4p material like Tocker. To be fair it would be too much to ask for anyone to live up to having expectations placed on you because of the greatness of a legend like Tocker shelby fights andre ward next month! once ward is quickly destroyed i'm guessing shelby will be welcomed with open arms into the supermiddle tourney. after winning the tourney shelby "showtime" pudwill will challenge joe calzaghe to a superfight. joe will accept and "revenge of the pudwill" will be a massive ppv success and save boxing.

This was Tocker's first pro loss: As you can see it took an ATG to end Tocker's aura of invincibilty.

He genuinely said that...

"Rocket was a much more of a finished article than the Pud, Rocket ranks among the Monzon's & Robinson's of the Middleweight division, Top 5 easily, Tocker, have him at 6 at SMW which hasn't created any real star of sort" -Bert Sugar, Bulgarian Boxing Monthly - July 2008

Gary Lockett's twin bro? Lockett's a bum. He shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breathe as Tocker 'The Bismarck Bomber' Pudwill. I just hope that hometown decision robbery hasn't forced Tocker out of the sport which so desperately needs him right now.

Heres a nice video on Tocker in the build up to his last fight Tockers worst fears came true and Vanda was awarded a hometown decision :( The general consensus even in his opponents camp was that Tocker was the winner as spoken about here: http://www.bismarcktribune.com/articles/2009/04/21/news/sports/local/183134.txt

Tocker was robbed of another decision again last night by another biased ref in his comeback fight. It must be a ploy by the boxing world to try to keep Tocker out of the sport knowing that if he comes back he will just cleanup whatever weight division he wishes. Tocker also took the fight last night on just 2 weeks notice being the warrior that he is. He had also fought only once in the past 5 years. True warrior. It was the worst robbery I've seen in a long time, possibly ever.
