beeston has his views of fighter and fights many of them wrong imo but he dosent make his picks based on nationality so i gotta ask what are you talking about ?
Because he complains a guy for being nationality biased then re-engages the nationality issue of a disputed fighter (ie.Martin Lindsay) thereby provoking the controversity he is protesting.
This thread has gon way off topic from the point of view that no-one seems to know where barker is at. Even Macklin from the interviews I have heard believes it is genuine so I hold out hope on it happening!!!
barker was on the bunce hour live saying it was a problem but thought he could get it sorted , i wouldnt worry hell be out for so long to get it fixed then hell be back
Funny thing that you are the one to bring up the "irish" issue in every thread! from the guy that has to proclaim he is "English and Proud" over his avatar - maybe you are a tad hypocritical! you can call me biased - but if being biased is not licking the balls of ignorant scum like you and the likes of you then yeah, I'm biased. Ta ra chuck! :good
what? please refresh my memory on this one? Anyone what has saying a guy has Irish nationality got to do with bias. I support Irish fighters - there is a big difference in supporting them and being blind to their ability. If people can point out some of my "bias" I would love to hear it
The bloody paddies on this forum are, in general, complete tits. Most biased posters you will ever come across.
They need to be quarantined into their own little sub-forum, not just a thread where they can spout their bull**** about how Andy Lee is a p4p fighter or Dunne wasn't certainly going to get destroyed by Poonsawat and other bull****. Though some of their posters are decent, the majority are hideous.
Where are you when British posters are claiming that Haye will ko both Klits, ignoring the fact that he's terrified of them, Maidana is ducking Khan, Froch should have got the decision over Kessler, etc, etc. It seems like it's ok to be biased on the British forum as long as you're British. Please find me the posts in the Irish Boxing thread where is was claimed that Dunne would destroy Poonsawat or that Lee is a p4p fighter because I have been following that thread for a long time and the consensus was that Dunne would lose and Lee gets more criticism than praise. I don't understand why you all feel the need to attack Slapbangwallop for pointing out something which happens to be true. In typical Brit forum style you try to discredit the messenger because you don't like the message.
As for Barker retiring, it would be a pity for his career to be cut so short, there are a lot of good fights out there for him.
i don't think i've seen any serious poster on the british forum claiming haye will ko both klits. same with maidana ducking khan. also in the Kessler - Froch rbr, the vast majority of posters had kessler winning. the general forum is another matter though. there are plenty of biased "british" posters on there who don't post in the brit forum
