    :lol: I was just thinking about how much it costs for the bus. They're so expensive, and for what? The pleasure of going somewhere **** and sitting near a load of loud chavs? I'm sure a glass of water on the plane will be about £9, but it would be so much fun.

    pretty much Thomas Hearns. Something about his perseverance. He lost fights but he never had an excuse or was dirty in a fight, and he always came back looking forward not regretting the past. Great attitude. Aside from being a great fighter, he is a great man.

    I saw rocky when i was 5. That's it

    started boxing 11 years later, four years after that I sufered an embarrassing knockdown.

    now I write poems of boxings, as you expressed Kirk, beautiful brutality

    life is full of remorse

    That's where Ryanair catch you out. They'll tell you water costs 10cent.

    ''Oh, you want it in a glass? €14 please.''

    Although still better that a bus, costs a ****-load and then your stuck beside some junkie asking you for a lighter before falling asleep and then waking up every now and then because he's choking on his own drool.

    My dad made me watch Brian Nielsens matches and I was intrigued by Mike Tyson. Later I started to follow Kessler but didn't become a big fan of the sport until after he beat Andrade and was in the negociations with Calzaghe.
    Also most of my mates loves Soccer, where I think it's absolutely boring as ****, so thought I had to find another sport to follow.

    I can relate to that :verysad But damn that's one gay avatar.

    I have a feeling if Ryanair offered water, it would be in a paper cup that barely offers a mouthful and collapses after 20 odd seconds.

    It's funny - No matter where you are in the world, there will always be a scruffy **** who'll sit near you and ruin it.

    Klitschko Lewis.. Became a klitschko fan first, mostly from national pride.. Then began watching classics, then watching any fight I could.. Then actually boxing, then back to watching

    I was a kid in the 80s with young parents. My dad and his friends watched a ton of fights and I grew up with it. My first favorite fighter Marvin Hagler, then Holyfield when I was in high school. Then came Gatti.
