    he was not even a good K1 fighter , no way he becomes a boxing serious contender.

    i think jerome lebanner knocked him out . well , any french cant KO a brit anyway.

      What would a French man know about boxing!!

      I'm not suprised he wasnt a good K1 fighter, he's too top heavy for all the kicks, he's a lot more suited for boxing.

        Not very.

        I hate watching him fight. Such an ugly 'method'(or lack of).

          kickboxer rarely translate well to boxing (and vice versa) , their boing is rarley above basics and elveiel , i remeber that you like me praticed kickboxing before boxing (i was into savate (obviously) and muay thai) , and a fine technician like you should know that the way you plant your feets in kickboxing doesnt allow you to sit on your punches and move as well as a boxer.

          boxing is the real thing BTW , be it in the street or in the ring .

            Thats the thing mate, Skelton does sit on his punches, thats why he's effective. I dont think the guy was made for K1 the same way Vitali wasnt. Skeltons footwork is pretty lame and he cant box for **** but he's effective.

            Infact a lot of world class, brilliant fighters like Vitali, Benn, Hatton, tino and elveiel have made the switch very well

              No more needs to be said. How do you always manage to nail it right on the head, elveiel?

                benn and hatton were kick boxers ?????

                and yeah we made the switch very well , but our sucess with women took our legs away , sadly.

                    Yeah, my kickboxing coach told me about Benn and i have heard Hatton mention he was better at punching than kicking so he decided to do boxing(thank ****!!)

                    god sent the ladies to tame us, otherwise we would be the badest men on the planet . I cant resist a nice pink hole!!

                    Oh **** mate, i had some **** checking me out today, it freaked me out!! i should have told the guy that this ass aint for sale but i know a french ass that is(yours ).

                      damn we are twins somehow.

                      an **** checked me out in the weight romm yesterday , while i was getting dress , i told him to watch elsewhere .

                      we are the baddest men on earth , but we cant fight cause the world women council had us classified as "women patrimony" so it s illegal to hit us , or i better say try to hit us.
