    Gavin Rees comes across as a bit dense n Ricky Burns doesn't come across as thick but says "obviously" about 100 times during his interviews

    I heard that da buture was likely to be chunky. Thoughts?
     
  4. And yet they must all be very intelligent when you consider how fast their minds are regarding hand-eye co ordination,and ability to spot minute spaces in a split second and be able to take advantage.it reminds me of a playmaker in football who has incredible vision and ability to read movement of people and timing of space yet they can't string a few decent sized words together
    They are all sharp minded but just can't convey that to conversation or the camera
    On the other hand we have lots if intelligent boxers look at the klitschkos or even David haye strikes me as a clever bloke

    Some guys just aren't confident on camera, hard to judge.

    Amir khan, seems to see a different fight to everyone else when his fighting. He also seems to think he is better than others see him. I think he suffers or is disillusional

    A bit harsh.
    Iv'e seen a few fighters uncomfortable when getting interviewed by Kugan. Some guy's just don't know how to react when he's trying to be funny. Social anxiety can also make people come accross as thick when in fact they are quite bright.

    What questions did he ask that was difficult for Rocky? :lol:

    I understand some people find it difficult when there's a huge press presence but it's Kugan armed with one camera. If you can't be yourself in front of that you will always struggle with the media.

    I've certainly heard a few stories about how Frank Bruno changed the walks of more than a couple nice young ladies, I can tell you.

    Edit: Apparently, I've misread the meaning of the title there. Khan comes to mind, as he's a walking cantaloupe.

    I bet at the matchroom headquarters they have a few jigsaws set aside for Quigg and Fielding, ages 2-4 obviously.
