    I agree, but be damned sure Fury or Wilder aren't within hearing distance if you decide to say that publicly.

    Modern amateur system also has resulted in many current professional boxers who really don't know how to throw a real punch with their body-weight behind it. Spent all their formative years slapping at the other guy for pts.

    Lets be honest with Wilder's jaw he'd be better off fighting on Twitter.

    Put Calzaghe under the fagslapper category too.. Although he was a great fighter..

    I can't stand fighters who dont punch properly. U should take a look at the overrated Zou Shiming.. He throws nothing but arm punches and hits like a girl..

    That is a horrible analogy. Argentina are still threatening to act like colonial bullies once again hiding behind the excuse that the UK stole islands they have no claim or interest in.

    Boxers have always used the media to wage phony wars with words to build up potential lucrative grudge matches. Used to be in the press and on TV now it's via the internet.

    I was using the range of the weapons used as the analogy...don't get so damned offended. It fits quite well. Wilder is tall and lanky, he'll be best served to keep fighters at the end of his fists and no closer. The British had cannons that shot farther than the Argentinian cannons....it fits perfect don't get your panties in a twist about it....would you rather I say he should fight like Moe Howard vs a midget and just hold the midgit at bay by pushing against his head letting the midgit swing wildly without hitting anything?

    New day and age. We soak it up. Shit networks dedicate complete shows to verbal jabs and pissing contests. You get hired and fired via computer now, why not fight and talk it up.

    Yes Midgets are fair enough just don't let Warwick Davies or the poster worried about his height hear you.
