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

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.

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.

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.

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

He was being forced to turn (saw him trip over his own feet) and fight at a pace that he wasn’t comfortable with. And target opportunities were opening and closing before he could fire because inactivity had eroded his timing.

Maybe somewhere between our two beliefs is the truth.

31 isn't old, enough if he's quite shopworn but the desire has gone - mentally and physically so at that point it is best to walk away.

Quigg seems to be giving up too easy here

That fight in Carson took more out of both fighters than they want to admit. Valdez could be ruined as well. He is definately not the same and against lesser opponents. Could be his new trainer has alot to do with that. Anyway those tough wars do take something from everyone..

hes 31

Your point?
Your actual age doesn't represent your age as a pro boxer. He's an old 31 who obviously doesn't have the reflexes or explosiveness he once had and for a puncher, who moves in straight lines for the most part, once your reflexes start to go, you don't have that movement and pure boxing ability to rely on. Quigg is not going to learn that after fighting one way his entire career. If you think 31 is too young for a boxer to retire you either didn't watch the fight or you DKSAB.

That's yet to be seen. I'll believe it when I see it.

Really? He got stopped by Jono Carroll! I think that's a good indicator of where he is right now.
