    Erm, let's see... I'm a Celebrity get me out of here? He's done Big Brother,so that's the only step up... unless ITV have another reality show lined up some time soon.

    You can't play boxing and that's exactly what he tries to do.
    He showed in the Cunningham fight he has no heart, he quit, he may come back and beat cunningham... But the next guy who put's it on him will beat him.

    I voted southern area but I doubt he could even win that.

    I hope he made lots from the subway adverts.

    Good luck to him.

    Ogogo wil never win a title.
    He's a decent fighter, but will never beat anyone beyond journeyman.
    He's been injured too much and with the troubles with his sight, he should consider a new career (Maybe acting)

    With those chicken legs - when facing live fighters he will regularly travel 6 feet south to the canvas.

    I don't mind Ogogo and think he deserves recognition for the way he's battled through injuries, but he isn't winning a world title.

    Trouble is that he actually had a really bad eye injury against Cunningham and battled in for longer than Kell Brook who actually quit with a minor eye injury and somehow he's a brave monster. Good luck to Ogogo and hope he does well. Takes balls to continually come back from injury when there are the soft options of TV work available. Instead of getting **** for doing celeb TVs and adverts he should be given credit for wanting to step back in the ring after repeated injuries. This shows heart and determination.

    Agree with most of this but....minor eye injury? He fractured his eye socket mate, that isn't minor.

    It is compared to the very serious fracture suffered by Ogogo. Very surprised not to see post op photos from Kell. Very surprised Eddie missed that opportunity.

    You do realise that they had effectively the same injury; a fractured orbital bone. No doubt with Ogogo the damage was more extensive and credit to him for fighting on. But you have to bear in mind that Brook was in there with GGG, if you are having trouble focusing your vision with such a prolific puncher I think it is harsh to class that as a minor injury. If he had continued then likely would have escalated to a career ending injury. If in that situation then the trainer should have every right to pull his fighter out. No shame in that at all and probably Ogogo's corner should have considered the same and potentially could have saved their fighters career.
