    He is on the payroll man! He's not as bad as the guys on SKY.

    I seen it before and thought it was very honest.

    McGuigan was a top class fighter, but a pundit who tends to say what the channel or paper wants him to say. But I will always remember him as being one of the best ever featherweights. He rightly deserves his HOF position, and is probably the best featherweight from these islands.

    There was a great McGuigan programme on BBC1 many years ago when he was interviewed by Jim Neilly - had clips of all his early fights. But have never seen it repeated, I had it on VHS for years.
