    I've hated this **** for a while but he's gone to the lengths of quoting some sports writing about Amir Khan - Malignaggi.

    There is no mention of Katsidis in his column, including his 'team of the week'.

    The irony of it all? The sports writer he quotes is named Kevin Mitchell

    I boguht one of his books years ago, 'Hitch-hicking for ugly people' and really enjoyed it. Then I read some of his columns and did a very quick 180 on my opinion of him. he also needs to lose that pirate bandana and realise hes not 23 years old anymore.

    Is that from a series of books you have purchased? Like the "for Dummies" franchise? Did it help? Many lifts from strangers?

    funnily enough, he seems like a total flip but i actually loved listening to him when he was on the back page panel on fox.

    very clever guy, very well spoken but again - probably a pain in the rear end in real life.

    I've read a few of his books including the ballad of les darcy and think he is a very talented writer. His newspaper exploits are a different kettle of fish I usually avoid reading them and watching him on TV is a bit painful at the best of times, bit of a case of a guy being clever but also knowing it

    When Foxtel started in Australia ,I think they were called Liberty international. I think the owner was Matt Tinley's Uncle(America Presents). FitzSimons Was on all the original boxing programs ,now he rubbishes the sport . I think Ray Connelly and Neil Cordy were also involved.

    Rubbishes the sport??

    He wrote a book on and spoke magnificently at last years HoF when honouring Les Darcy in front of countless legends of the game.

    Whats his greif??
