Haye is the future, better believe.
That boy has so much power he could donate half of it to charity and still knock anyone out. He has a punchers chance against absolutely anyone and I really wouldnt put his skill that low. For a puncher he can box also, so yeah, unless Mike Tyson the 2nd steps on the scene he will go far.

Hahahaha! I love the way people get worked up by this stuff.
I wasnt at Effingham Park that night but here are some pictures:

Fighter from my gym in gold.
Holy fuck he lives in Beckenham? Thats right near me... That would also explain why he was at one of the amateur shows my club was at just last week. :cool:
What style are you, fucker?
When some kid asks me for the best piece of advise I can give him, I just say "Getting hit sucks, have defence."
Fucker? lol?
Anyway I have a few. I can brawl and last time I did I stopped a guy with 20+ amateur fights when I have none. However I tend to counterpunch and move and slip, then when the pressure drops off my fun starts.
Generally I would say I stick to counterpunching. Its such a good way of fighting... so rewarding when you hit someone as they totally miss you and just frustrate them. Also the ring in my gym is pretty small so that makes it easy for brawlers and hard for counterpunchers but I do my best... And for the record, yes I have sparred heavies... even though nobody agree's. :boxing:
Benn was 14-0 in open-class army boxing, representing the Royal Fusiliers. He was 24-1 on the London amateur circuit, representing West Ham.
I hear West Ham amateur boxing shows are just a scam now.
Apparently the moto is:
"Dont box on a West Ham show, you wont win either way".
So many robberies there, and in fact if you look at the past records from their shows it is always the West Ham boy who always wins...
Juy have you ever met any of your idols and if so what happened each time?
Good shit.
Haha, Barry McGuigan's son. Awesome.
Yeah apparently he is a bit of a puncher. Had 2 fights now and won at least one of them with a left hook to the body, I even think he won his debut by KO too... :cool:
Now im just waiting to be released onto the scene. Like Hamed I have supreme confidence... I will succeed and thats all there is to it. :D
When I do ill post the pictures here... :)
LOL!
No but seriously, the reason why people bring up Ali and Tyson is because they were so popular and still are now.
I just found it ironic how you accused others of knowing nothing and then stating that Ali had no power (one of the worst misconceptions about Ali, since his power was highly underrated) and that Tyson had no stamina (the mistake the whole media fell into until Tyson went through rounds for fun against the likes of Ruddock and Green for example). So yeah.
"You're dead wrong".
Im sure he has property everywhere, the man dresses to impress everytime he is out in public so he's obviously loaded. He is in Britain at the moment I think so yeah he must have a house here.
Btw I just watched Steve Collins Hard Men, and I see what you mean about Collins-Collins-Collins-Eubank-Collins-Collins. He cant stop talking about himself can he? The best part was the Riddick Bowe press conference where he landed a left hook and then a right hook straight after, those were sweet. :cool:

Barry McGuigans son winning with a KO: left hook to the body.
Here you see them together...
Did Eubank and Benn roll around on the floor, fighting and stuff?
Barry is an idol of mine.
Lol, nah apparently they get along well now I think. They have the whole friendly rivalry now, nothing serious.
The thing I found hilarious was how Eubank was seperated from all the rest of the British fighters. You had Eubank, then you had Benn-Hamed-Bruno all in their little group with a whole load of others like Clifton Mitchell, Johnny Nelson and Ryan Rhodes. They would all go to each others shows and support each other. As I was watching that Steve Collins DVD I noticed Hamed ringside for Benn's fights with Steve Collins, yet Eubank got no support. In fact in an interview of Naz's that I saw he was slating Eubank. After the Molina and Perez fights he does it. You have met Hamed and he is an idol though right?
Anyway, yeah I need to meet all those guys and I think there is a reasonable chance of it. I missed out on the chance to meet Frank Bruno last time he was at a home town amateur show of mine, when I heard I was fucking pissed. I wanted to go out and hit someone. :cool:
Well all the good ones have been mentioned.... if you're looking for somewhere to find them try YouTube.com
They have the Gatti fight for sure, im not sure about the rest.
I don't think I've ever met any of my idols!
Wow, ok lol. My mission is to meet Eubank and Benn before you... if they keep going to London am shows then im bound to somewhere along the line. If only you were in Effingham Park about a week ago... Eubank, Benn, McGuigan the whole lot were there... :)
Christ do these stupid yanks EVER stop whining about Benn-McClellan?? They come out with some of the dumbest shit I've ever read.
You have to see past ignorance or you will never be able to live your life.
Suggesting that McClellan was brain damaged by rabbit punches alone is simple false. Just by watching the fight you can see that on the ropes McClellan is hitting Benn behind his head also, but that point aside McClellan had absolutely no defense in that fight. Was it really surprising that you are gonna incur brain damage with no defence against one of the biggest punchers you could come up against?
At most rabbit punches contributed... not wholely caused the unfortunate turn of events.
I'm just guessing he wasn't, because if he was he'd be in the ring outstretching his cane and seeking attention ;)
LOL! Who said he wasnt? I never saw any pics of him but when I went to train tonight a boy at my gym told me he was there... so im guessing he was telling the truth because he told the truth about Benn being there, as proven by those pictures. :cool:

Good video but i think there is too much pad work on there, and talking to the crowd its a bit annoying.
I had trouble with the sound did ne1 else get that?
Well done on finding it though, its good stuff, and shows his defensive capabilities really well.
Fuck that bitch. The challenger should go to the chamo, not the other way around. He'll never get respect if he doesn't fight center stage in America. All the other great Europeans came here and fought, and are recognized for it. Right now, he's getting a lot at home for fights; if he came here and won, he'd make just as much, if not more than at home, with MUCH more exposure.
Well the one time that he did come over there i think he got a 2nd round stoppage/KO so whats all that about. I say keep it where the money is, he aint gonna come over there and fight for less cos u so-called experts say he will get more exposure. He has agents which no more about exposure than all of you put together, who market him etc. I say whatever the decision is, if these American fighters are so blindingly amazing then they will beat him anywere the fight is staged. Or is the location just used as an excuse if a fighter losses and proves the "experts" wrong?
Not the best fight out there.
Tyson can't even bight anymore.
I'd pick Holyfield.
Tyson cant what anymore? I mean come on if your gonna say someone cant do something at least make the spellings correct.
Tyson-Mcbride made me feel the worse after it>> those where some well sad days for all Tyson fans including me.
The Hatton fight i knew the outcome of so for me that wasnt an upset, especially is a was rooting for him.
Will he be swimming when Ricky goes over there and opens up his defensive style like a packet of crisps?
I think he will be thinking twice about his waste of time. Perhaps a little bit of order is needed before the fight. I think he should stop swimming and start thinking. After all this bullshit that is coming out of his mouth is making him look foolish, especially when he gets beat and his perfect record goes down the drain.
Having said that i have to mention to you lot that all he said was that he went swimming. Maybe this just means he was more concentrated on his own game, not others. A sign of a focused fighter? According to you lot it was a sign of cockyness but think outside of the box.
Im i the only one who thinks the fight was fixed???
idk why but Kostya quitting all of a sudden
all everything he has said its kida suspicius
Dont worry mate, ur just suffering from a severe case of Loser's syndrome. I bet you were one of the wankers who doubted Ricky before the fight and now a thread like this is created.
Heres your answer. No the fight wasnt fixed. Ricky and the BRITISH crowd are too "legendary" for the former champion.
Yeah slipx just to let you know b4 any more mistakes are made on ur behalf i quoted Ricky Hatton when i said the british crowd were legendary. If u wanna give me bad karma for simply quoting some1 go ahead, just shows that your last resort really was up. U cant argue against the facts (ie Ricky Hatton actually won even though all u lot r bitching, and yes Ricky hatton did describe the crowd as that). U obviously werent watching or listening to the fight so u wouldnt know these things dont worry urself. but next time u try to make a smart ass comment just make sure u know what ur tlking about and then dish out fair criticism. Not bad karma for quoting The Champion. fuck face.
I would actually back some1 hu is from the gutter you know. I mean the area that i live in isnt that good and the gym is run down kinda. Nevertheless its the people that surround you that make u what u r. Obviously ur own self drive is important but i dont think that the kin of equipment is what matters.
In mike tysons case he was brought up being bullied and that must have given him that "survival" instinct that he has, which is then transferred into the ring.
Its like when footballers are told not to have sex the night before a game because it may hinder their performance and they may lose the drive. Same sorta thing in boxing, especially when ur from the gutter and u need to fight a lot more you grow up having it.
Overall id say some1 hu is pampered as a child would work out to be a worse fighter. I cant rele explain what i mean though.
