    Comments Thread For: Daniel Geale Went The Extra Mile in Camp For Barker

    I've been a boxer for more than 20 years now. I started in Launceston when I was nine years old. I had my first amateur fight at the age of 10, this was the first of a great amateur career. I had 165 fights, with 135 wins.

    Growing up I was inspired to box by all of the greats. My favourite fight of all time is Marvin Haggler fighting Sugar Ray Leonard. Although I was heavily influenced by Kostya Tszyu, especially in his fight against Rodriguez. The way Tszyu disposed of him in the fight, it lit a fire within me.

    In my professional career, my favourite fight would have to be my fight against Felix Sturm. I feel this was my biggest test. I was in Germany fighting the 12 time defending champ. He was the poster boy for boxing in a country that has produced so many champions.

        Its very refreshing to see an interview where they aren't portraying the stereotypical (im a nobhead) boxer attitude. I cant stand fighters who give it the Big-I-am in press conferences and don't turn up on the night. Selling you one thing and giving you another, peckers! Barker and Geale are not like these blokes!
