    Have you boxed, do you box, do you train, are just a fan, are you a scholar, is your interest passing, is boxing even your favourite sport?

    In short what the **** are you doing here?

    I use to box. I do occasionally go to the gym for some boxing sessions. Boxing is my favorite sport. Nothing gets the adrenaline going better than a good tear up in the ring!

    Got into it as a fan because my dad`s mate Prince boxed and was successful. When I was about 17/18 I did go to the boxing club in Dewsbury for a while. I was taught the basic stuff,worked the bags and sparred a little.

    I did a little bit more of the same in my mid 20s when some fight trainers rented a floor of my friends gym. The spar stuff I did was only light and I enjoyed working the pads a lot more. I was fairly quick and could get some decent combos off on the pads but I dont have KO power and dont at all like getting hit.

    No way I would have it in me to get in the ring and fight in front of a crowd. Nothing but respect for those who do.

    Trained when a teenager, but a 5' 7.5'' cruiser/heavy was never going to go far.

    Been a fan for years, however my work pattern and the fact I work away from home alot doesn't allow me to watch boxing to the same extent as 3-4yrs ago.

    Novice amateur boxer of 2 figura. Before that trained for years casually to keep fit. Love the Sport, reading bout it, watching it, go to local shows pro or am. All my closest friends have either some boxing experience or are big fans. Just grew up around it really were I lived.

    Back in 1904, I was campaigning to become the next most popular boxing pundit with a certain Mr. Steve Bunce up against me. What happened was not a pretty sight. On the day that the votes were being totted up, I bumped into Steve in the canteen, where he came at me guns blazing, fists up, I asked "What have I done to you? Whats happened?"

    Bunce wasn't having it and he smacked me one right on the nose. Rendering me unconscious, when I woke up, in 2013, I found myself in a wheel chair and unable to walk. My love of boxing intact, thank god, but Steve Bunce won the race and won the prestigious position.

    My career was ultimately over in 1904, so from now on I will just have to sit on my arse, thanks to Bunce, watching Boxing and thinking what could have been? I was destined for greatness, and it was taken away from me in a blink. All I ever will be is a crippled mess with a broken heart, he destroyed me. I was gonna make it goddammit!

    So as of this, my status is simply a fat ******* in a wheel chair, never had the chance in the ring, thanks to Bunce, and never will. I am just a fat ******* who watches boxing from the best seat in the house, like fat Dan, but kept away in my mental institute.

    One thing is for sure, Bunce gets a lot of ****, but let me tell you, it is all 100% justified because of what he did over me. He knew I was winning, he knew I was gonna be the face of British boxing for hundreds of years. And he resulted to dog eat dog tactics. Every man for themselves.

    The voting process is irrelevant to him. He knew he had the muscle, and he knew he had the right hook.

    But with that being said, let me tell you this. Steve Bunce is the real deal folks. He is not a man to be messed with!

    I feel for Daniel in Kent, who phoned in yesterday and called Bunce a ****. He had his 5 seconds of fame, and said what is on everybody's mind, but no doubt Bunce would have been round there after the show laying Daniel out.
