British Boxing has produced some the greatest Boxers this noble art has ever witnessed. We've Produced some fine fighters and some charismatic champions and never say die warriors but one thing we have consistently produced is fighters who are nutty as fruitcakes. So i think it's about time we give these oddballs a home and enjoy and reminisce there greatest and not so greatest moments. From the interviews to the fights to the weigh ins. Any Character you feel just ain't the full ticket will find his home here. :good
**** it I'm getting Gomez in before someone else does [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5toghsijUdU[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEAkmEhG794&feature=related[/ame]
I will say one thing.........you have brought a lot of fresh threads to this forum, more so over the last few months...........and yes i mean varied substantial ones. Ishy got my award last year, you certainly get it this year. I remember when you joined, i got a lot of info regarding past fighters who i wished to know of south of the border..... Anyways, the unofficial HH BRIT FORUM POSTER OF THE YEAR award, goes to you. Was i talking 3rd person ? Anyways, the award still stands :good
I was going to pick Gomez! :yep Farnell was like Gomez where he would get himself really wound-up before a fight. Eubank was a eccentric nutjob, Small is just a nut and lets not forget the infamous entrance of Usman Ahmed - that alone gets him on the list IMO :yep [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eyb5hQtYdVM[/ame]
Chris Eubank. His appearance on Big Brother was :blood And has anyone seen when he met Louis Theroux? Prince Naseem Hamed is surely up there, don't think he was a loony as such, just a bit out there. Frank Bruno cracks me up. His laugh... I dunno whether to be scared of it or what.
I remember watching Gomez just 2-3 metres from me for his ring walk, Sky were late or he was being held up (**** knows) regarding the Burns fight. A good 5 mins he stood there taking a TON of **** from everywhere, 360 degrees. Am sure it aint new and many have waited longer but **** me he was seriously ok cool.......then it was roll 5 your on tv !!!!
HH Thanks Mate :happy:good. Means alot to know my threads are appreciated and it coming from a ESB Vet like yourself. I still remember that thread we had some good convo's in there. I think it's bout time that thread got bumped seeing as it was a long while ago..plenty other boxers have vanished off face off earth recently. :rofl Kos i can't get enough of that Ahmed Dance. He's a true showman that lad. From the ring entrance and the shorts to the stunning knockout. He's a game lad and we love him for that.
I remember thinking, this is ****ing tragic. I like the way he does the weird footwork shuffle infront of the girls though, he must've thought he looked awesome.
Just seen this comment on the youtube page :rofl. ''One of the greatest entrances of the modern era''. I love the poundland gold name he got and it's a shame his footwork in ring ain't as good as his entrance footwork. He's earned his place in this place.:good
Vet Am here to learn, not argue.....or ok, ask questions. Most of ma posts are pics or youtubes :yep Yeah when i think of that thread i think of Richie tiger pants.
I think that is Jeff Thomas' comment I don't care what his results are in his career, he is a legend in my eyes :yep:good
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv2leT3cBOU[/ame] A few weeks after LL's last fight, i presume. This OWNS !!!! Pre-conceived or not, telling him to throw it inside........makes ya think.
