Peter Buckley's last fight

Absolutely Decebal!!

 

Yeah good posts decebal.

Hopefully he might get some TV time it being on friday fight night tonight, be nice for them to acknowledge it and atleast show a few rounds.

 

You need guys like Buckley in the fight game, without guys like him a lot of theyoung guys wouldnt get pushed for a few rounds. Wish him all the best:good

 

To Gaz from Steve: "why are you reading the Daily star"

:rofl

 

i'm sickened by the stupidity of the non-boxing media about this...

'the worst boxer'??....the are many worse boxers...the fellas who try boxing, get beat in a couple of fights and forget about boxing...they are the worst boxers, likes of charlie zelenoff, them fellas...buckley has beaten the likes of them in his 30+ wins....

and...this lad has fought for a wba intercontenintal title...

and...are all these 'worst boxer ever' headlines insulting that 30 odd men that buckley beat ?...

its the likes of peter buckley that makes the sport live...would there be a manchester united or liverpool fc without all the school football teams...
boxers have learned by beating buckley...they couldnt stop him and would have to have their wits about them....if buckley was the worst boxer ever the likes of hamed {twice!!}, mc millan, mckenzie, scott harrison, gavin rees wouldnt have bothered with him...and neither would the rest of the 42 former world euro and british champs who boxed him have...

fookin media are taking the **** out of the sport of boxing...and every man who stepped in the ring with buckley, thats what they're doing...

.

 

Spot on post in fact the best post i've read on this subject, a shame your not writing for the times or whoever.

It shows a lack of respect for boxing by these no mark journalists who haven't a clue.

 

i was disgusted when , in an otherwise knowledgeable and respuctful piece on buncies boxing hour, the heading worlds worst boxer came up.....how ****in disrespectful...at least buncie did go some way towards putting the viewer straight on the point...

 

with all the media attention, it would be nice to see this televised....but in a respectful way of course...

 

Buckley is an example of a great journeyman. The man has fought everyone (usually at least twice) and has only been stopped on VERY few occasions. Buckley should get a teacher's pension for his contribution to the sport.

 

That was my Email (posted below) which was sent before I knew Bunce would be interviewing Buckley. You've got completely the wrong end of the stick mate.

" Hi Buncie/ Andy,

How about a few words for Peter Buckley who is having his 300th, and last, fight tomorrow? Threre is a piece in todays Daily Star calling him “Britains Worst Boxer” and as you know Buncie he’s far from that. He fought top guys, in their hometown, at short notice and was still rarely stopped.

Maybe you could redress the balance a little with a short appreciation of his career?

All the best
Gaz

It's on sky sports now. Not to post a spoiler but fairly sure you know how it goes

 

Now, I'm a journalist (don't work too far from Bunce, as it happens, though I've never met him)... and that's why I get p*ssed off about the laziness of "worst fighter ever"... most losses of an active fighter, I think, but he isn't exactly like the first guy Froch fought (ok, lazy myself as I can't be arsed to go on boxrec), who fell over as soon as he was tapped.

 

and sky sports just showed a quick clip of buckleys fight with my buddy vinny feeney {they fought twice}...cool..

 

Great way for him to bow out. Enjoy retirement Pete.
