    Honestly yeah, I can. I get annoyed whenever folks bring up Nelson - Fenech 2. I shouldn’t it’s dumb but so am I. He’s not even my favourite fighter but that gets my goat for some reason.

    I was talking to Joe the other day, as it happens. He was saying that he's going into hospital next week to have the staples tweezered out of his left bollock. Honestly, it looked like a spacehopper with little metal horns. The security bloke threw him out of Asda.

    No. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

    If the criticism is unjustified and illogical, I find it annoying. But my favorite fighter ever deserves some big criticism, so I engage in it from time to time myself.

    Lord, no ... sports of all types are just entertainment and a diversion for me, I don't sit up nights worrying about boxing or anything.

    What I don't like is people being disagreeable when they disagree. I try not to be; I expect reciprocity.

    Lol! I do get pissed off if someone slags off a fighter when they don't know very much about the subject matter and making out that they do. Thankfully,with the exception of one or two trolls over the years,most on this site know their boxing and boxers.

    No, it's just a sport and they're just opinions, for crying out loud. You won't find me lowering myself to get emotionally involved with what some person I've never met writes on the Internet.

    I mean, if some no brain, utter ****ing ****, is senseless enough to denigrate the great Packey Mcfarland, or ignorant to the greatness of Tommy Gibbons run up until 1920, why should I care what that total twat thinks?

    No sir, you won't find me getting wound up, not at all.
