    are you joking? they have all those qualities when it comes to fighting so you couldn't be more wrong...and as "Furey" said , olympian, commonwealth, british, european and world champion, what a poor work ethic he must have

    Noone is arguing whether his talented or not, I think his skilled fighter but he never really looks in shape to me and the guy has been as inactive lately not to mention, the opponents he keeps pulling out of fights with are awful.

    Wow.

    Two quite hateful, prejudiced posts there. Super work, well done.

    To be a pro boxer takes an incredible work ethic, discipline, dedication and unbelievable commitment, and as a non-member of the travelling community, I openly admit to having very little of these qualities.

    My point is, you can't just make ignorant, sweeping comments like that and be taken seriously, lads.

    I agree with you with for Billy Joe or Tyson to reach the status of world champion requires an extreme amount of hard work and discipline to begin with. I do agree though both men don't seem to have the necessary determination to stay at the top but that's not due to them being travellers that can be the case with any fighter whether it be Mike Tyson or Adrien Broner etc.

    I can understand you saying that, but in BJS's case can injuries be prevented or should he simply fight through them? Honest question.

    And would Fury lack the necessary determination if he wasn't manic depressive? We just don't know.

    If he genuinely is injured then fair enough if he pulls out but looking at his pictures he doesn't look like he could make weight. This is 4 pull outs in the last two years, is it all his fault I doubt it, wouldn't be surprised if Warren has something to do it with it but he just strikes me as a guy who relies a lot on talent and hasn't got the professionalism to go with it.

    In the case of Fury I don't believe anything that camp says everytime they pull out of a fight something happens which shows they are probably lying.

    We all know that the Andy Lee postponements were down to ticket sales being low. I think the fight he was due to have before summer at copperbox again was more down to lack of ticket sales rather than injury.

    Either way BJS does not fight regular enough and his reign as champion has been nothing but a farce.

    We will just have to disagree on that. I can't force you to be right.

    Like it or not traveller boxers DO lack discipline. Oh well...

    I am serious. Traveller boxers have a long history of lacking discipline. Just here in the Banana Republic of Ireland we have seen similar problems with our traveller boxers very recently amateur And pro... just a fact. Far from being victims of hateful treatment if anything our traveller boxers have been given too much slack entirely. Certainly in the case of Ireland, They have behaved disgracefully and shamed and emarassed the rest of their fellow citizens in this country. Just fact.

    I have long admired Billy nor Saunders silky boxing skills. I am a big fan of his boxing. In fact I was one of the very few that confidently ...,and correctly predicted he would beat Andy ..Lee.

    With real professional discipline there is no telling how far he could go. But with effort and discipline he wouldn't even be a middleweight at all. Might even make welter.

    The most overhyped champ we have! As much as I dispise the twwat CEJ beats him all day long now. He talks like a champ but it's all about the ring so that's the reason he's gonna end his career with a couple of big losses and then retire.
