    I always thought that black American fighters were all slick as hell to a man, and could dance as well they fought - at least thats what Hollywood taught me. Then i saw Zab Judah try the Kostya quickstep and fail miserably. I was disappointed.

    Haye would beat Wlad. (Still believe that now, he just allowed certain things to dictate him that night, hence he wanted the rematch so bad, he knew where he went wrong) probably rose tinted glasses as he’s my favourite fighter.

    Haye would demolish Bellew, 1 and 2.

    Groves would beat Froch 1 + 2. (Took 5/1 the first fight, all so close)

    Amir Khan would be p4p number 1 with any sort of chin.

    Same as the OP. Fury was rubbish. I laughed when i saw he was fighting Haye, thought it was a pointless fight for Haye at the time, and was a cash grab the same as the Audley fight.

    Still coming to terms with the fact Eubank JR May not be as good as I think.

    With you on that one. He has the physical tools,he just lacks a boxing brain and dynamite power.

    Bums don’t make klitschko scared and only land 4 shots per round.

    Bums don’t get up from serious knockdowns like that.

    Bums don’t make people like chisora, wilder, hammer and USS look levels below them.

    Surely have a tiny bit objectivity.

    Yes his style is unappealing to some. But a bum? Be honest with yourself. You might not personally like him, his style or both.

    But who can really beat him? Of all the pros in the world. Barring a lucky shot I can’t see anyone doing it

    Absolutely agree! I was impressed too, still remember how WOW he looked like that night. Also his storyline about the hard life and his daughter were making him like a dude with a great story. Not anymore... He got brainwashed by money.

    No whiny story just saying what happened. Youre right they should have pulled him. It was worse thing Don ever did getting involved with Muhammad and Ray Leonard

    This, and once Fury managed to uppercut himself, I was adamant Price would murder him

    Other confessions

    Backed Haye and lost £200, £100 each fight against Bellew. I really bought in the Haye 3.0. 4.0 or what ever he was at the time

    I was a big Paul Smith Jnr fan...

    I knew Tyson Fury would beat Wladimir because styles make fights.

    Junior is not crap at all. He beat DeGale and floored him twice. Before anyone says DeGale was shot let’s remember he was a reigning world champion who gave up his belt to take a big money fight with Eubank Jr.

    He was shot.... a shell of a the fighter he was who gave up his belt precisely because he was shot and any likely title defense would not have been a good earmer and the chances are he would have lost to most competent world level fighters. But fighting CEJ meant a big final payday against a competent world level fighter. I agree, CEJ is not crap but he's nothing special either....

    Timing is everything. Fury might not have survived Haye chinning him.

    I had that with Herbie Hide, but I was still pretty young and naive at that point.
