    It's funny how the locals try to clown just in case they get sparked.

    I think Herol Graham looks like a tit in this video....

    He's a boxer, not a ****ing clown.

    yeah but this was back in the days when you had working-class communities who would appear, 300-400 strong, in a working men's club, to have a few rounds with a boxer. This is back when the sport was an engrained part of the culture. I don't think we have that any more.

    If you want to cultivate a strong, loyal, fanbase, you have to go into the estates and the working mens clubs and do **** like this. Why do you think Hatton does all the after dinner speaking jobs (other than the money, obv)

    christ thats good,that fellow in his y fronts,made me LOL.
    he don't look a tit,he was doing his bit for the community,getting hiself a fanbase with the working class,top bloke if you ask me:thumbsup
    all the chaps smoking as well,reminds me of fighting in the late 80's early 90s in the working mens clubs,and you had to waft smoke out of the way so you could see who you were hitting(my trainer used to have my inhaler in his pocket for inbetween rounds):D:D:D
