Comments Thread For: Scott Quigg: Unfortunately You Can't Stop Father Time

[MulaKO]

He’s an old 31 though.

He quit school and had been basically having gym wars since he was a teenager. He’s been travelling to gyms in the USA from the UK since he was about 14 or 15. There’s an interview with him where he said he first went to the Wildcard at 15, he would travel to USA with his mum so he could go to the gyms there, before he was even supposed to have finished school.

Have you heard him speak? He can barely string a sentence together.

I haven’t heard Quigg speak in a while
That’s pretty sad if he’s already got a speech impediment
From what I saw in his last fight , I think he should retire as the road to a belt will be a very long and probably unattainable
Seems like a good guy , hopefully not to much hurt

Exactly.

Watch Quigg decide to fight one more time and waste the other guy if buddy throws an average amount of shots and stands still.

The way he was talking though is that he is only willing to fight on if he can become champion. He sort of came to terms with the fact that isn’t happening. Still has a good last one left in him though, I’ll tell you that.

Nah, his legs were gone from the opening bell, he looked like Haye in there agaisnt bellew, legs wernt under him, unable to let the punches go and wobbled from every flush punch...

The Valdez fight totally ruined him.

Maybe I should start paying closer attention to interviews. I don’t know if this is true or not. All I know for certain is that Squigg loses that fight at any point in his career. I will admit though, I didn’t think it’d be quite that one sided.

This is a case of a boxing and some of his fans deluding themselves. Quigg is still in his prime, he just isn't very good. Look through his record, his best win is Kiko Martinez. His three hardest fights of his career, Carroll, bad style match up, Quigg is a straight forward plodder with limited skill, anyone with good movement beats him easily. Frampton,much better boxer, and Valdez who beat him up, but is always there to be hit which makes Quigg seem netter than he actually is. Decent domestic fighter, nothing more.

Maybe he should fight a few more tomato cans and build himself up slowly before making a brutal assessment of his abilities. Being off a few years before fighting again can do that to anyone.

Takes a big man to actually admit his time has come
I think retirement is the right call
Hopefully he put away some coin and can easily retire cause that’s one of the biggest reasons fighters don’t

[Marvlus Marv]

I'm glad Scott can see the truth. Whatever the reason(s), he's now a shadow of his former fighting self in every way. I could easily see him training guys but sadly it would take a minor miracle for him to rediscover his fire. It was like watching Haye vs Bellew.
