If so then i like to see him get weighed in well and truly. I respect any man that gets in ring but when you disrespect people who risk there lives doing there job for there country (whether you agree with war or not!!!) then that's when i lose any form respect for someone.
Well......if he a Muslim? Or, as not to offend any Muslims, a Muslim fundamentalist? I don't agree with war in general, but these troops are doing a job, and a pretty poorly paid one at that. Anyone who jeers/mocks/ridicules them should be rightly castigated. Shame, I thought Small, despite his bravado, was a fairly sound chap.
its in this weeks Boxing News Here's his full statement. "I'm not a member of any particular group.I'm just a muslim who believes all muslimsstand as one body and i stand for the honor of my muslim brothers and sisters who have been killed around the world. "When i see people commiting atrocities then coming back and parading medals they've won by killing those brothers and sisters i'm going to stand up and speak out. Here he is going on about the alleged spitting at the soldiers. "The spitting is a lie.We didn't get close enough to the soldiers to spit at them.And if anyone finds a placard Saying 'return home murderers' inflammatory then how about the ones who have been murdered in afghanistan-innocent men and children-as the defenition of murder is to unlawfully kill someone? People say soldiers are only doing their job-but you can say the same thing about hitler. "The soldiers are young boy's-the one's who come back having to wear nappies and needing sleeping pill's and the mothers and wives who see them come back in bodybags are all victim's of war too"
As a big boxing fan, I was a fan of Small and have actually watched him in the flesh, a great showman, half decent performer, although never likely to trouble the elite. NOW comes my problem .. he has fought for the British and Commonwealth titles which should indicate a man proud of his country and he comes out and get involved with this bollocks ? Id suggest : A) banning him from fighting in the UK, and for any British or Commonwealth titles, and remove him from the list of titleholders. B) doing the same for any other fighters who undermine our great country and what we stand for. c) if the authorities ( British Boxing Board of Control) dont ban him, Id like to see a boycott of him by fans, media, and promoters. I personally will be writing to the BBBofC, Emailing Ricky Hatton his promoter, and writing to Boxing News, it wont change anything but its something I feel as a boxing fan and proud patriot I need to say my bit about. the wife has just come out with a very good point, if by any chance he got a world title shot, what would his thoughts be regarding the national anthem being played ?
Although I don't think our country is particularly 'great', Small is a **** for what he has said. Mainly because I'm an atheist and I think religion is bollocks (sorry to anyone I've offended, no, actually I'm not)
Dirty **** Aye!!! There was innocent people dying in Afganistan before the war. Even trying to put the troops and Hitler in same context is a disgrace. I put it to Small like this. If you care so much...then donate your whole fight purse to the needy out there and travel over then and provide your ''brothers & sisters'' with medical aid and food and drink and supplies.
