    Some of these guys smoke too, some much better than fury. Toney for example…Floyd used to eat McDonald’s burgers lol.
    Fury had a sandwich is no big deal.

    good post but doesnt look after himself mate that was my point look at his body compred to those others and no he isnt a boxer with an amazing stamina. He boxes low volume and still breathing out his ares in the final stages of fights, had enuff of these lies tbh

    but as i say good post mate i do see where your coming from

    good sauce isnt it mate lol But for some reason i cant see it either, i bet hes a bit of a nightmare to be around regularly like if your preparing his meals, control freak was often said about him and i do see that

    oh the steak is two per cent overcooked or the rice is to soft or the broccoli needs another twenty seconds, not enuff salt etc

    not sure if you remember that videos of him before Haye there on youtube of him in the woods and making enormous steaks etc punching gently against a trea trunk to harden the knuckles etc black and white video

    is there a connection between the british gypsy boxers and a lifestyle that leads to a sub optimal physique for boxing performance none of them seem to be in superb condition but i may of missed some or may not be aware of some who are

    The vast majority of travellers that box any level, enjoy and relish fighting but many simply don't have the dedication. Long term.

    Don't mind sparring but having the self discipline between fights to keep in decent shape not having to cut weight in vast amounts it's very common, bad diet and drinking culture.

    could you maybe go into a bit more depth on that mate as i do enjoy hearing about these cultural things. is there a reason gypsys may not be dedicated as much? also will say i watched a documentary about a fella called Quinn and he was a gypsy fighter and seemed a lovely bloke and decent man to his family nd community this was going back years, he was always winning the fights and he looked like your average joe but he was one tough bugger and how good could he of been if he was a boxer i wonder but as were saying he wasnt in superb nick but he had better fitness than the boys he was up against James Quinn I believe his name and he's got another name like a middle name also

    If you are a traveller boxer many/most live on sites, it's a goldfish bowl environment the lads I knew in gyms going back decades were sound enough but lot's of tales about disagreements, hugely proud people and with that comes a no back down view of life.

    I know people who swear by white bread more. Digests quicker, better for your work outs. Genuinely don’t think the likes of white bread matters. I think it’s more eating genuine shite, like curry sauce and chippy chips at 3 months old drinking loads and the arl devils dandruff Joe Parker likes are going to be the things that add up. You can’t outrain a bad diet but bit of white bread etc. No big deal but I’m no pro athlete.

    Most gypsies and Indian/pakistanis (gypsys originate from India) have a culture of getting married and starting a family young. This doesn’t go well with boxing.

    What are you on about, this thread is about Irish Gypsies (travellers) that originate from Ireland, totally different to Roma Gypsies and South Asians.

    This thread is just to have a dig at travellers.

    Yet on the flip side you have the likes of Andy Lee and Hopey Price who are as nice as it gets.

    True. You’re right, I had proper gypsies in my head. But travellers also often get married young so same applies. If not then they just lazy dossers
