O'Sullivan - Eubank (WBA full title eliminator) on Joshua - Whyte undercard

[Primo Carnera]

Belief will take you so far........but a lot else needs to happen. Still , you keep believing in him if you like , while I'll stick to what ACTUALLY HAPPENS. ������

So you are willing to judge the future of his career on one fight?

So those other fighters I me tioned, their careers should be judged on those losses? Hopkins lost to a journeyman in his first fight.

Even Tam who liked your post has lost to some mediocre fighters. Does that mean Tam couldnt improve and beat them after more experience or go on to have an impressive resume?

I was in the wrong weight class, coming from cruiserweight to supermiddleweight will benefit me highly.

Can you not see my point though?

You were relaively inexperienced as was Eubank. Eubank came very close to beating Saunders and one odf the judges though he did. With more experience he can improve and beat Saunders. Im sure even with the weight dissparity you could face those same fighters and beat them.

My problem was I was too small in a big division. Ive done better and will do better at 12 stone. But still fighting good level fighters.

What baffles me is How does Ross know that they were mediocre fighters? much respect to you Tam, just for getting down to 12 stone regardless of how you do.

White collar boxers? Check em out. They are just ticket sellers and income generators for enterprising trainers/budding promoters. Im sure Tam would agree most wouldnt even reach regional amateur
Tournament level, let alone get in the finals of the regionals.

Mate, I'm gonna try to be very polite here and I'm gonna try not to be a smarmy prick.
When you talk like that , you sound really disrespectful. I respect and admire and am a bit jealous of anyone who's been between the ropes.
Boxing makes you push your limits and challenge yourself like no other sport , both physically and mentally. And at some levels, you may not win, but if you come out of there after all the work you put in before and during the fight and look in the mirror and know you couldn't do any more, then you can be immensely proud and that's what it's about. All these white collar guys, amateurs, semi pro's , journeymen pro's mean as much as the Floyd and Pac's of this world.
I had a disagreement with britkid the other day, he felt that if money wasn't your main priority, you shouldn't be allowed to box. I reckon if money IS your main priority maybe you shouldn't be allowed to box.
What I'm trying to say is , follow the hype if you like , we all do to a certain degree, but don't let it deflect from what goes on in the ring.
Sorry to make this post sound like some sort of Hollywood speech.
