I think they are all scared of Big John - need to get Micky Theo on the next debate to fight the corner of Tony Dosh PPV
Was like night and day watching that debate compared to the infuriating, mindless garbage that passes for punditry on Sky, even Haye came across better than he usually does. Warren, Calzaghe and Haye are all minted so don't care about getting on the wrong side of a certain promoter with the initials EH and losing their spot (and payslip) next to Adam Partridge or Anna Woolbrains so they just speak their mind rather than carefully walk on eggshells and as for Big John have no idea if he's rich or not but he clearly doesn't give two F's about what people think of him.
Agree with this. BT blinds Sky for boxing coverage at the minute IMO. Richie Woodhall is bang on and Paulie (who was comfortably Sky’s best pundit) is doing more and more bits on there. I know Haye can come out with some garbage at times but I rate him as a pundit. It’s a shame they seem to have lost Barry Jones to Sky but I’d much rather listen to Woodhall and Haye than Bellew and Nelson.
Bt sport boxing is excellent compared to sky, they even have a proper presenter. That woolhouse knows nothing about boxing. Also, the by sport app is brilliant. Always tickles me when I read 'big Joan fury'
suprised to see him stood next to Warren, didn’t Warren shaft him for millions after the Hopkins fight and just liquidate the company so he didn’t have to pay him ?
Yeah, I think Calzaghe still got a good chunk of the money. I seen him as his guest at a show the other year, so they must have made up.
Big John is a bit of a boxing historian. I have always liked Richie Woddall, very fair, consistently talks sense. Bellew is good when not commentating on his friends. As for Sky their commentary pundit team needs a major overhaul. Paul Smith was good but doesnt seem to be getting a gig lately with them. Like Barry Jones, Sky seem to not be using him now either.
Loud, brash, abrasive Bunce is a rubbish presenter. He belongs on a market stall selling fish. He doesn't suit being a presenter of big time boxing but it is what is. Rather have him shouting down my screen than that odd Anna Woolhouse who just facking wears the weirdest outfits she can find in her wardrobe, then sticks on her fackin ugly specs and turns up to shows to speak complete and utter bollox. Also there are no good UK analysts. They're all useless. None of this, "he's good when he's not commenting on his mates fights". No. They're all just shiit.
I think Haye actually likes Tyson Fury, there's a video on BT YouTube, the camera getting the reaction of Haye, Rawlings and Barry Jones, stays on them throughout the second Wilder fight. Haye looks genuinely happy and impressed with Fury and praises him so so highly, Haye is all in on Fury after a round. So I really don't understand John Fury's irritation with Haye, I really don't, OK the two Fury fights fell through, it's a long time ago now and Haye is very generous in his praise of Tyson.
What's John Fury doing on this show anyway. He's done nothing in boxing. Frank Warren, Joe Calzaghe, David Haye, and some bloke whose son is a successful boxer.
Correct. But it's media speel and pish, to sound Scottish. Keeps the casuals happy as he's a name and face that they know now. Probably soon to be on the next bake off or celebrating come dancing. To be fair he can be mildly amusing just as is so unorthodox and biased
