    Talks about how he is levels above other fighters and always uses the excuse that when he underperforms, he is just performing to the level of his opponent. Also claims he is the best middleweight in the world. That makes him an idiot, because he hasn't proved jack shit. Those are idiotic comments that for me, prove his idiocy. Can't stand fighters talking about how they're going to do this and that when for their entire career, they haven't done or proven anything. He has also bounced from trainer to trainer and promotor to promotor without offering muchrespect to the work/help they have tried to give him throughout his career. His interview following the Wayne Elock fight was just plain disrespectful in my opinion. Now how does that make me an idiot?

    ok, maybe he is aiming a bit higher than he can reach, but then again maybe he isnt

    i havent heard him claim to be the best middleweight in the world mind

    anyway just chill, enjoy his career, after all he was involved in the most exciting ever boxing fight

    You've started a poll in another thread calling Haye a "ducker" and Calzaghe a "slapper". Both of those guys have achieved a helluva lot more than Matthew Macklin. So disrespecting those 2 dispite their achievements would make you an idiot would it not? I'm criticising Macklin because he's claiming to be a big shot when he isn't. People on this forum have ragged on Hatton, Khan, Floyd and Pacquiao for their achievements. What I'm knocking Macklin for isn't harsh. I'm basically saying that before he shoots his mouth off, he should fight someone of note.

    I dont mind a fighter who is confident, even arrogant but let them at least have something to be arrogant about. Like Eubank, Calzaghe and Hamed. I dont think you will hear in 20 years someone chatting down the pub saying "I wish British boxing was back in its hey day. You know, have the likes of Eubank, Ben, Hamed, Lewis, Calzaghe, Hatton and Macklin."

    Despite the fact I can't stand him I'm happy he has signed to fight someone of note. Not once in this thread has someone said "he doesn't deserve the fight with Winky". Nobody has questioned his approach to the fight with Winky either. Everything I have said has come from previous statements he has made. Maybe you should re-read a few posts again.

    i dont need to reread the posts dude

    you are saying he is arrogant/over confindent/disresepctful or something along those lines arent you? and because of this he is an idiot?

    and this is due to how he talks before/after fights yes?

    so i am asking how he is suppose to talk, you tell me what he is suppose to say

    should he say he wont win, or should he say he will?

    you also said he hasnt backed up his words and he was disrespectful to elcock, he batterred elcock and proved he was levels above him, after the fight he said that and it did a good job of promoting his status

    if he had of said, i won but it was a lucky punch, how much ambition does that show? how much self promotion is that?

    this is boxing dude, this is how the top boxers talk

    this is boxing dude, this is how the top boxers talk
    After the Elcock fight he said he was going straight to the top and would beat anyone in the world outside the top 3. He said he was going striaght to the top with "the best promotor in the world" Frank Warren. He then left Frank before he fought again. I'm not saying he should said "That was a lucky punch" after the Elcock fight, but if you're going to say you would beat anyone in the world outside the top 3, for fucks sake fight someone of note and step up your competition.

    After the Elcock fight it was "all about levels". He said he knew he'd destroy him because he was streets ahead of him in terms of talent. After the Ruben Varon fight he said he he underperformed because he was fighting at the level of his opponent. You say this is how boxers talk but compare this with Darren Barker, who admits when he underperforms it is down to him making mistakes he needs to improve on. By being honest you assume that shows a lack of ambition? No, it shows a willingness to learn and improve. But am I to take from you that because Barker doesn't talk that way he will never be a top boxer? For the record, I've never heard Manny Pacquiao say he was going to be the best in the world. That hasn't stopped him from becoming so.

    To be fair, only about a month back MP called himself the greatest fighter there's ever been. Interestingly there was none of the outrage or talk on it as when a certain security guard poking pal of his says the same. Anyway enough about that (jesus I've become one of those people making every thread about those two fuckers).

    Anyway, I disagree on Macklin's 'arrogance', I think there's nothing wrong with confidence, even if it is ill-founded. The Varon fight leads me to think that he's reached his level & the Asikainen fight was a bit of a false dawn. However, I agree how he's treated promoters & trainers doesn't speak well of him. I also disagree on Barker. I think he's a bit of a knob, who has somehow reached a level above where he belongs.

    I dont mind a fighter who is confident, even arrogant but let them at least have something to be arrogant about. Like Eubank, Calzaghe and Hamed. I dont think you will hear in 20 years someone chatting down the pub saying "I wish British boxing was back in its hey day. You know, have the likes of Eubank, Ben, Hamed, Lewis, Calzaghe, Hatton and Macklin."

    right ok, so macklin doesn't deserve a fight with wright? and whether he does or doesnt how is he suppose to approach it?

    well ive done alright so far in my carear but this is a big step and ill probly loose, in fact ive been lucky to win half the fights i have won already, im fat, i cant punch, i have a small willy and nobody loves me
    Despite the fact I can't stand him I'm happy he has signed to fight someone of note. Not once in this thread has someone said "he doesn't deserve the fight with Winky". Nobody has questioned his approach to the fight with Winky either. Everything I have said has come from previous statements he has made. Maybe you should re-read a few posts again.
    i dont need to reread the posts dude

    you are saying he is arrogant/over confindent/disresepctful or something along those lines arent you? and because of this he is an idiot?

    and this is due to how he talks before/after fights yes?

    so i am asking how he is suppose to talk, you tell me what he is suppose to say

    should he say he wont win, or should he say he will?

    you also said he hasnt backed up his words and he was disrespectful to elcock, he batterred elcock and proved he was levels above him, after the fight he said that and it did a good job of promoting his status

    if he had of said, i won but it was a lucky punch, how much ambition does that show? how much self promotion is that?

    this is boxing dude, this is how the top boxers talk
    After the Elcock fight he said he was going straight to the top and would beat anyone in the world outside the top 3. He said he was going striaght to the top with "the best promotor in the world" Frank Warren. He then left Frank before he fought again. I'm not saying he should said "That was a lucky punch" after the Elcock fight, but if you're going to say you would beat anyone in the world outside the top 3, for fucks sake fight someone of note and step up your competition.

    After the Elcock fight it was "all about levels". He said he knew he'd destroy him because he was streets ahead of him in terms of talent. After the Ruben Varon fight he said he he underperformed because he was fighting at the level of his opponent. You say this is how boxers talk but compare this with Darren Barker, who admits when he underperforms it is down to him making mistakes he needs to improve on. By being honest you assume that shows a lack of ambition? No, it shows a willingness to learn and improve. But am I to take from you that because Barker doesn't talk that way he will never be a top boxer? For the record, I've never heard Manny Pacquiao say he was going to be the best in the world. That hasn't stopped him from becoming so.
    we arent all pacquiao dude

    who is better macklin or barker? who is better known?
    Better known doesn't mean better fighter. Their achievements are identical, their attitudes are different. Personally, if they met, I'd bet Barker schools him.
