    Simon jordans an absolute gimp imo. A lot of the stuff he says is probably shared by boxing fans on places like here. But most fans including myself are deluded to reality. Thats the fun of being a sports fan.

    No one on here for example would dream of saying to fury hes useless who,s only beat klitchko and wilder 3 times if they ever met him. Not out of fear. More because living in reality his achievements in the ring like most of them we slate should be respected.

    Simon jordan couldnt punch his way out a wet paper bag. Neither could half the people on here. Its allright to write it on a forum because its part of the fun of being a deluded sports fan. Its different when you,ve got the coverage simon jordan has tho. The boys that are going in the ring and putting it all on the line....are being held to ransom from guys that are making themselves relevant by constantly criticising at every oppurtunity. Put jordan in the ring and then we,ll talk about his opinions after it.

    I dont believe you need to be a good fighter/boxer etc to have an opinion as a boxing fan. But you probably do if your someone like simon jordan thats only really relevant because he criticises people.

    Klitchko was a long time undefeated champion. Wilder was an absolute brutal puncher and usyks a generational fighter. Fury,s beat 2 of them and showed everything he needed to show against usyk to get more respect that jordan and white are giving him.

    Take a bow. That is a beautifully worded post.

    Why try and be a weight bully then? I think White is alright.

    Everyone slaughters this bridgerweight but as someone who is 6 foot 4 and walks around anywhere between 15.5 16. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t made earlier based on modern sized men. Could easily when in good shape be sub 14 4 lbs but haven’t been that low for years and I dunno if I could function well athletically whilst getting punched at that weight now in early 30s. I think it was just giving a huge section of the world’s men huge disadvantages at cruiser or heavy.

    I agree with you, Here's Johnny. I just watched the clip and Okolie was being a bit of a grump. He's got to accept that he deserves some stick.

    I'm not exactly sure why people moan about Bridgerweight but don't moan about all of the other divisions of very small men going up in increments on seven pounds. I'll be rooting for Okolie to do a job on the chubby looking Pole and then move up to heavyweight where there are plenty of good matches for him.

    Del Boy Chisora is the one boxer likely to snap and Jordan told him in the studio right to his face that he does not enjoy watching his fights and he always loses when he steps up.

    Takes a pair to do that to Chisora's face.

    You can tell for sure people have had enough of Fury and the rest of the family, they were riding high for a while especially with the performances with Wilder and the comeback but I feel along with the poor performances and now getting beat things have turned. The general behavior, lack of respect, outburst, fat **** of a dad giving it the big one have caught up to them

    Also, not a huge fan of Jordan, says what he says for views or the little clips on youtube which is fine. Jim White has no idea and his comments I believe are scripted and prepared by someone else.

    That’s what I said about the tiny increments haha. Never understood why the jump is so vast between light heavy and cruiser either

    And then heavyweight has huge weight differences. I often hear "because any man over two-hundred pounds can knock out any other man" which is nothing but a cliché. Don't get me wrong, I like the weight differences and if it was up to me I'd have no weight divisions. I am firmyl in the Tank Abbott camp on weight divisions. I do respect these small champions less. I am in the minority, but I don't mind being in the minority. It would be a boring world if we all had the same opinions, wouldn't it?

    Inoue v Fury would be interesting with the overhead right landing just above the kneecap.

    Beale, it is my contention that these small men are not as great. Sure, they may have skill, but what does that skill mean when they couldn't give Dave Allen a fight?

    Fair enough but he,d absolutely collapse if chisora put it on him. His ignorance to reality is what allows him to do that with chisora.

    Tbf It is his job to ask difficult questions etc. These guys are getting paid vast sums of money afterall. But it needs to be based in reality.

    Its allright to say to chisora that he doesnt enjoy his fights and he loses when he steps up but thats got to be coming from a place that chisoras a hard bloke thats battled his way around the top level with limited talent at the top level and has pretty much taken every single challenge hes been offered and gave it a good go pretty much everytime. Also put his body on the line every single time.

    To then be talked down to and rubbished live on tv by a guy that bottled a boxing match with eddie hearn is where the problem lies.

    As much as you give chisora grief on here for example beale i reckon if you did meet him....you wouldnt tell him hes hopeless. Not because you bottled what you think.

    More because you probably know he deserves a bit more respect for his career....than having a guy thats never boxed at any sort of level tell him that hes hopeless.

    Scared of nothing mate but I would not go out of my way to pick a fight with Chisora.

    If we are all honest, he would flatten 99.99% of the UK population.

    I think you would be scared of Chisora, Beale. Sweaty palms, shaky voice and hands, struggling to make eye contact, elevated heart rate, Adam's apple going up and down...

    You'd be absolutely bricking it.

    I'd defo be scared of chisora as an 11 and a half stone average male, so couldn't blame beale for swapping his leathering of big del in real life for a selfie request
