  1. @@Jimbo What's been the reaction over there to him relinquishing his WBC mIddleweight belt and moving down to light-middleweight for his next fight? Looks like he's bottled out of fighting GGG

     

    Sorry @@Alex only just saw this, its been ridicule as predicted, its pretty unanimous in the boxing community that he needs to fight close to 160 or go back to 154, people are sick of him fighting at "Caneloweight"

  2. Its a testament to the man and his achievements that he managed to become without any question, the most famous man on the planet bar none, in an era without mass social media networks, I can't even begin to imagine how big he would have been today at his physical and mental peak.

     

    A true hero.

  3. :lol: they should stick to what they're good at - shooting each other

    That's the problem, it's just privileged yuppie kids, you don't see many of the working class there, even the poorer Hispanics don't give a shit, they either support Mexican or Spanish teams or even Premier League teams, you don't see many average Joe's there.

  4. That's the American soccer culture in a nutshell, I sat with the ''ultras" at the Houston Dynamo, those buffoons spent the whole game filming themselves banging their drums and waving their banners, in fact I honestly question if most of them even knew what the score was after the game.

  5. I was surprised at the outrage on Twitter at the whole David Haye farce, anyone with an ounce of boxing knowledge knew that was coming.

     

    Didn't the tickets go on sale before the opponent was even announced?

  6. I am writing to you in the immediate aftermath of the relegation of our club - a bitterly disappointing outcome for all of us.

    Newcastle United rightly has a proud and long tradition of competing at the highest level and I therefore understand and share the pain that supporters will be feeling at this difficult time.

    Many of you have expressed strong views about what we could have done differently. I respect those views but I would like to reiterate that it has always been my intention to try to achieve the very best for Newcastle United.

    We invested heavily in the squad over last summer and again in January, but we have been unable to secure Premier League status despite the recent efforts of the team under the formidable stewardship of Rafa Benitez.

    I’ve said in the past that when I take on a challenge I am prepared to go through both good times and bad. There can be no doubt that relegation is a terrible blow but I want to assure you that the club will now be doing everything it can at all levels to try to ensure a swift return to its rightful place in the Premier League. We have done it before – we can do it again.

    In the meantime, I thank the fans for their passionate support, in particular for Rafa and the team at recent fixtures, both home and away.

    Clearly it is now time for a period of careful consideration whilst we reflect upon the lessons that need to be learned from the last 12 months to restore this great club to the very top flight of English football.

  7. They did and he kinda is! Played mind games throughout the run in and protected his players, just wish he'd stopped and maybes Burton wouldn't be on the fixture list next season!!! :unsure2:

    I'm not sure his mind-games did anything, in fact they seemed rather desperate, bottom line is they struck gold when they signed Defoe, he's the only difference between them and being Aston Villa style cannon fodder.
