    :roll:

    Apparently David Haye is going to beat both Klitschko's. Okay, not such a bad premise in itself if a little optimistic. The reason for this? Glenn has a feeling. He has a feeling the Klitschko's are coming to the end. No need to expand on that.

    It must have been Wlad's 12 round domination and stoppage of Eddie Chambers. Or was it Vitali's 4 fights since his return where he has lost a combined 0 rounds?

    Furthermore, Wlad is 'erratic' according to Glenn. The guy hasn't lost for over half a decade, I'd love to know what his definition of erratic is.

    Embarrassingly poor. I ****ing hate biased, lazy, shitty articles towing the company line, grow some balls Glenn :twisted:

    This is the guy who blamed his "mate's" loss to Pacquiao solely on Floyd Mayweather Senior.

    It's sad this passes for analysis from one of Sky's 'experts'. It's blatant flag waving for their new box office star but that wouldn't be too bad if there was a half way decent attempt at analyzing why he believes Haye is going to do that.

    Absolute nonsense.

    Sky needs a massive shake up. Whats the point of having a panel if every c*nt shares the same view?
    Its gringeworthy at times.

    Actually, as much as I like Haye, I really cannot see him getting past either of the Klitschko's - they simply hold too many advantages over Haye. Haye pulled off a good close win against Valuev but Valuev is so slow and does not possess the same technical skills as either Klitschko's.

    Yeah, this is the one thing we have to put up with is biased Sky commentary, but at least they have stepped up to the plate and are showing us an excellent schedule of live boxing.

    I've developed a firewall for boxing journalism and punditry. I find it mildly distracting, but generally superfluous.

    Also, does any notice the rather inexplicable absence of a certain HW boxer from the 2nd paragraph?

    I agree, I havn't got a major problem with any individual one of them but they just need a good shake up. Its far too cosy and matey at the moment.

    Get 6 or 7 regulars, use different combos of them and a few guests to freshen it up.

    Yip. It'd be nice to see some genuine debate between them.

    No surprise with McClory. I remember him tipping De La Hoya to beat Mayweather cause a good big un always beats a small good un. Really Glenn? Is there nothing to talk about in regards style etc? :roll:

    I'm sure McCory (and most of the SKY team) picked Tyson to beat Lewis too. :-(


    But he's right about Klitshkos. Their days are numbered. Maybe Wlad has a couple more years in the tank, but Vitali's just plain OLD.

    These two are old men. Maybe Haye will take them. I just dont have enough faith in Haye's chin to say he will do it. I dont even know what will happen in the Ruiz fight.

    The only one I rate is Nelson. He talks some bollocks at times and I think to myself why do I like this guy? But then he'll come up with an awesome prediction I didn't see coming.

    Nelson is easily the best then mccrory and Piper. Piper is basically the yes man i don't think i have seen him put one fighter down on the show. All are great talents or future champions to him.
