    Everything has its place, yes. And our place should be above validating what isn't valid. If you want to scream and shout with all those that don't care about a real fight that's super. Where I am genuinely offended is when people who know better come here and talk as if publicity equals validity. It's offensive to all logic and truth.






    Your beginning to talk shit now, who the fuck are you to say that a casual fight fan shouldn't join this forum or any forum on the back of a fight like Haye v Bellew that maybe they enjoyed so much has turned them into a potential hardcore fan?

    I've been watching fights live from when i was 11-12 years old when my Brother used to take me to the Royal Albert Hall to watch Pat Barrett and other Micky Duff fighters.

    I was new to Boxing then (a casual) and loved it and remember Barrett being explosive, all action and very entertaining, do you think i was a purist back then or grew and learned to appreciate the more scientific tactical fighters like Floyd over the years as i watched more and more fights?


    It's dinosaurs like you who actually stop the sport growing
    It looks as if you didn't understand a word I said. Because your points have absolutely nothing to do with what I said. You're arguing with yourself.

    I'll list all the ways you seem incoherent.

    1)"who the fuck are you to say a casual fight fan shouldn't join this forum or any forum"

    I never said anything about that.

    2)"do you think I was a purist back then or grew and learned to appreciate...."

    Again, absolutely nothing to do with what I'm saying.

    3)it's dinosaurs like you who stop the sport growing

    Again, I didn't say anything to suggest anything about stopping the sport growing. I'm saying educated fans should have an honest dialogue. Saying publicity equals validity is bullshit. By that measure Mayweather/Pacquiao is the greatest fight ever. Umm, no it was not. I'm saying everything has its place and we should be honest. There are a lot of circus fights being made. Always has been, that's true. But it's still a circus fight and should be acknowledged as such even if crazy circumstances happen that accidentally turn the fight compelling.

    If there is no honesty then you get Haye trying to con a rematch. You get Wilder trying to further his BS career acting as if Bellew is a legitimate opponent. If the fans accept BS without calling BS then all we will get is BS.

    Look how Pacquiao chooses opponents, floating soft names out there and sitting back guaging the publics response. First soft opponent that doesn't outrage the public will be his opponent. Looks like that's Khan. It's been what 6 years since he's held a belt? It does nothing for Manny's resume. It's a cash grab and should be acknowledged as such.

    A circus fight, whether it sells or not, should be called a circus fight.

    A mismatch, whether it sells or not, should be called a mismatch.

    Etcetera etcetera. None of this hurts the growth of the sport. If the sport can't tolerate honesty then what the f are we talking about?









    Not even god knows what the fuck your talking about.

    So your telling us you were born then became an elite boxing anorak and were never a "casual fan" to start with, you know like we all were as kids? - i ask this because you claim to not entertain any fight you don't consider a "Real Fight" i.e. for a world title

    Prince Naseem Hamed was ringside (as a fan) at Haye v Bellew...... is he merely a "casual fan"...?
    And Yes you clearly state that "casual fans" shouldn't "come here and discuss" with "real fight fans" - "Circus fights are good for the casuals" blah blah
    Can a casual fan not enjoy and appreciate a technical fight then? (in your opinion)
    And i never said that you said anything about stopping the sport growing...... i told you that people like you do.

    I'm also publicly telling you that your a Wanker
