    you r a knob.
    if dunky thinks himself to be a scot(which he is) then thats upto him.
    you will find that most of us SCOTS think of ourselves as non british.
    anywhere in the world,if you ask someone what british is you will most of the time get the anwer ENGLISH.this pisses the rest of us off.

    WE HAVE 4 NATIONS WITHIN BRITAIN.
    THE SCOTTISH
    THE WELSH
    THE IRISH
    THE CHIP ON THE SHOULDER ENGLISH(LIKE YOU-GIVING THE GOOD ONES A BAD NAME)

    so do people now understand why i was giving Willie greif for fighting for a belt that means as much in boxing as Beeston Brawlers 1 GCSE in Textiles!!!

    my main points were

    1) Willie would have been better of paying for a decent opponent than paying the WBU sanctioning fees to fight a WBU bum

    i am proven right as Willies opponent didnt even pass the medical. he didnt even arrive in the UK until yesterday. If he has been fighting a non WBU bum, a domestic rival for example this would not have happened and the fans would not be disapointed


    2) Willie was ripping of the fans by fighting for the WBU as he would claim it to be a world title. Willie promised he would not do this but this weeks hes quoted by the BBC as saying

    "We get a lot of stick for this belt. But, at the end of the day, it's a world title and it's a 12-round fight that every boxer wants to be involved in," he said.

    "To fight for any world title is a great achievement. It will be an honour if I win this and I'm declared WBU champion"

    3) that the WBU has only helped the careers of Frank Warren fighters in the UK and that it will not benefit him.

    The WBU sanctioning a fight with a bull**** opponent has meant that the Promoters (willie limmond) have let the fans down.

    Textiles?

    Listen buddy - we know this issue of the WBU is of paramount importance to you, but you have made your point.

    You are starting to sound like a broken record.

    A badly broken one at that.

    Beeston if i had the time I could find 25 posts from last year where you mock the WBU, infact didnt it say under your user name WBU/WBF/IBO/IBU champion.

    im bringing this up again because i told everyone something like this would happen. and everyone is say, oh sorry to hear that willie, well im not, i told him he would be ripping people of and not being able to get an opponent that can get into the UK for a "World title fight" is ripping people off, no matter what he charges for tickets.

    this is exactly what happend.

    turn the palm of your right hand towards your face, and bring it slowly but firmly towards your forehead. i feel sorry for the 1000 scottish mugs that have bought tickets for a "world title fight" against an african bum that wont even show up.

    SPURS ARE ON THERE WAY TO WEMBLEY.....TOTTENHAMS GONNA DO IT AGAIN........YOU CANT STOP EM, THE BOYS FROM TOTTENHAM, THE BOYS FROM WHITE HART LANE............OH.

    TOTTENHAM TOTTNEHAM, COME ON YOU TOTTENHAM, WERE GONNA DO IT LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR, TOTTENHAM TOTTENHAM, COME ON YOU YOU TOTTNEHAM, WERE GONNA DO IT AGAIN, WE WONT GIVE IT UP, WERE GONNA BRING THE CUP, BACK HOME TO WHITE HART LANE..............................COME ON YOU SPURS.....YID ARMY YID ARMY

    The League Cup is the WBU of the football world so if I'm a mug then I guess you are too.

    I have consistently mocked the WBU, and will continue to do so.

    However, I see little point in continuing the debate about Willie Limond and this particular fight because firstly, it was done to death some time ago, and secondly, the fight is off in any case.

    The WBF/WBU thing is property of a Mr J. Thomas, of whom I am sure you are familiar, though please ask if you require further clarification ;)

    You are starting to turn into the British Forum's version of Rico Spadafora - subtitute Glass Jaw for WBU :lol:

    Rob, you would of creamed yourself a million times if you read the Daily Record all this week. Articles from , "15th scottish champ" etc etc. The bottom line is, the boys making fights for himself and others and hopefully making coin. Oh and hopefully people are paying not only to see a WORLD title fight but the other fighters on the card......and i believe this is the case.

    Go phone Hatton and take the **** out of him for fighting for the belt when he DIDNT need too, he HAD a backer. This boy dosent.

    Seriously mate, you talk a lot of good here but this is done to death, no sorry, your spunk bubble is bursting here regarding the WBU.

    Fair play you dont like it and yes sure he could of possibly bought someone maybe of a higher standard. Look at it from a promoters point first if you please...ala Frank Warren. He did it for a long time with Ricky Hatton. Limonds taking his first promotion and yes , from what i know he also has the Morrisons helping out, bottom line.............you really gonna insult the boy for that ?

    What would you do ?

    Nah sorry, WHAT do you do ? What are YOU bringing to British Boxing right now ?

    Then come back and tell me Limonds WBU scenario is a bad one for me you and boxing........ala his promotion.

    Maybe the WBU bauble was for all intentions not to hope to break even but YES for people to actually see the wider picture.ala the other talent on the bill ?

    HH i agree .rob palmer is acting like a total tit.He as made his point and is just being disrespectful to Wullie.Instead of giving him plaudits for taking the financial risk of promoting himself,and other boxers all he wants to do is knock the guy .pish poor patter

    I just think its things like the WBU thats killing boxing and as a fan that loves the sport i should tarnish anyone that trys to big it up to be more than it is. theres no way anyone can doubt Willie and others on this forum have tried to do that (after voiceing simular opinions to myself previously) since Willie was sheduled to fight for it.


    If i was in Willies postion, I would have spent all the cash that went into the WBU sanctioning fees on a better opponent. An opponent that could push him up the european rankings and get a shot at Thaxton.

    I think to question what I bring to boxing is an slight insult to everyone on this forum. I am a hardcore fan, and sure maybe there a million more just like me, but there is plenty i bring to boxing, the sport need fans as much as it needs fighters.

    Infact if theres one thing we dont need its more belts like the WBU. So it is a bad situation for myself and boxing.

    I know ive been a moaning ***** latley, im just stressed this credit crunch has ****ed me over a little bit. My rant at setana has a sole purpose of getting the Jennings vs Cotto and Diaz vs Marquez fights shown, and im far from saying its down to me but I started those threads to put the apply some pressure. If any fighter, whether they come on here or not, whether british, scottisch, mongolian, jamacian was fighting for the WBU, IBO, WBF i will give them stick. I realy like Willie Limmond as a fighter and a poster and thats probably why im more wound up about it, hes better than the WBU and fighting an african that cannot get on the Plane.

    if he was to promote himself in a normal non title fight i would be praising him and wishing him luck. if you would make the WBU belt disapear and have never existed you telling me that would not be a good thing?

    I had this saim argument at school with a teach when i got sent home for telling a kid he had a **** pair on trainers, they were hi tec. i told the teacher i wasnt insulting him but the trainers.............she didnt get it. im insulting the WBU not Willie. maybe i was wrong all along.

    Hatton is a big star because he can drink everyone under the table, if willie wants to be as big as hatton he needs to get down the nags head.

    COME ON YOU SPURS!
