    I dare say this has been done but i seen a recent interview with Tommy Coyle and he seems to be getting quite bad ....Hopefully 2 more fights and he packs in...

    I am worried even more for Dave Allen if he has 2 or 3 more years in the game

    Kell Brook, I'm not saying that you can hear it on him but you can see it when he fought last time, his reflexes are gone and he was just eating punch after punch. Plus he thinks he is still one of the best so he must be damaged.

    Derek Chisora is like an OAP at this point with Haye as his carer

    The first name that came to my mind when this question was asked was Dell Boy.

    I just don’t see him improving at all as a fighter and given the number of all out wars he has been it, that is a concern for me. He isn’t ever going to get that title shot now- so what is he aiming for?

    The loss against Kabayel has pretty much landed him into not got enough even for European level. His 9 losses are all against top level HWs but there comes a point when you say “levels”. Never made it to European title level.

    He seems like a really nice guy, and should have earned enough to have a level of passive income that doesn’t require him to fight anymore. He clearly doesn’t though and he clearly enjoys boxing a lot so will fight on way past his best IMO.

    First name that came to mind. Compare his speech now to a few years ago and it's radically different.
