    Pay him a compliment ,tell him he still looks in very good nick, then ask him how he can be so entertaining as a commentator, and yet have been so boring as a fighter?

    Haha I look forward to meeting the guy actually - my mates always take the mickey out of him but he seems like a fairly decent guy to me on TV - think he's quite a credit really - I know his style could be a bit annoying in the ring and everything but as far as a role model for British boxing I think he comes across as a pretty good guy and he looks beyond the obvious in his punditry I think also having that fight experience himself
