Calzaghe has a **** six pack.....no dedication :-(

 

No one hasn't mentioned Paul McClosky... i believe he is a world class operator!!! What about Anthony Small??

 

sorry non of those will go beyond Euro level

 

mate frankie is extremly dedicated u cant get to world level without dedication if you want to see how dedicated he is come down to my brothers gym frankie is extremly hard trainer and probably the most talented boxer britain has probably ever has you will all see that in the years to come so please back up what you say before talkin ****!

 

the olympics you know something about the olympics the made frankie and other boxers survive on gummy bears to make weightif frankie did manage to make weight god knows what would of happened to him, frankie is a big lad he cant make that weight now and he has more time in the pros, and he doesn't drink when he's out unless its after a fight and whats wrong with that?

 

i think you protest to much.

Ricky Hatton is a one off. Hes not an example to be followed. i have heard from people i trust that he was drinking pints 6 weeks before the olympics.

for me he doesnt look strong at light welter when you look at the domestic fighters at that weight.

i hope im wrong but ive heard so much bad stuff about this guy.

 

am i not allowed to voice an opinion without a trainer coming on and saying there fighter is the best in the country or world. its becoming a joke.

this is a boxing forum not sky sports. you can critisise. i am sure some of these guys train hard they can go 4 rounds plus after all which is seriously tough. but theres a difference between training and boxing training.

 

Will you stop this ****...you wouldn't call Mayweather a n****r or Khan a P**i, so why do you feel it's acceptable to call Fury a pikey and start with all the stereotype ****ing ****, it gets really old very quickly. Say it to his face, (or mine) or shut the **** up thumbsup

 

That's a very fair comment...

 

As for peoples comments on Frankie, Guys your gonna be proved wrong, Frankie is the mosst talented fighter I know, I've trained with some top fighters too.. How could anyone say he ain't dedicated??

The guy moved away from all the distractions in Birmingham and moved to Manchester to progress his boxing career, He leaves his little boy behind most weeks and lives in a flat by himself and trains with myself and believe me you are all welocome to come to the gym and watch how we train. Frankie is a super dedicated kid who is getting better everytime he laceson gloves. I was saying before he even went pro so it ain't a baised thing..:good

As for someone saying I weighed in at 185 I did on the night of the fight BUT the day before at the weigh in I was 175 exactly.. I do 12st 7 and will remain at this weight for as long as possible. Everyone is entitled to an opinion so I don't call people for voicing it BUT believe me guys Frankie Gavin is a dedicated athlete and a future world champion, Remember BRITIANS ONLY EVER WORLD AMATEUR CHAMPION:good

 

:hail

 

you missed ASHLEY SEXTON off the list

 

Haha sorry mate, I wasn't saying nothing about your dedication I was trying to make a point about prospects fighting a few pounds above their ideal weight in earlier fights and I saw the Tony Bellew thread so you were the first prospect who came into my head :good

Rob was just making some ridicolous comments IMO

 

there not ridiclious if other people have made them previosuly.

 

Just covering the lads mentioned in the original post, and keeping my comments brief:

Derek Chisora - Sucks more **** than a £2 prozzie.

Tyson Fury - I still think he's got a lot of learning to do but has the potential to succeed at British and European level.

Tony Bellew - I like his attitude, he'll definately win a British title but I see him being similar to Steve Foster Snr at world level, he'll always be competetive but might fall just short. (No offence if you're reading this)

Goerge Groves - Needs to calm his style down a touch and keep his hands up. British level.

James Degale - I think he's underrated, which is an odd thing for an Olympic gold medalist. I think he's got bags of potential, I think he'll bag a WBO title and make a few defences.

Tony Jeffries - Enjoyable to watch but isn't hard to catch clean and is very rough around the edges. Brit/Euro level.

Billy Joe Saunders - I think he's the pick of the Olympians. I really think he could go a long way.

Kell Brook - World champ. He sometimes leaves his chin up but apart from that, looks to be the complete article.

John O'Donnell - British level. Decent fighter and a nice lad but he's miles away from world level.

Jamie Cox - Very very raw. He needs someone to give him a good slap and tell him he's not going to achieve anything with the attitude he's got at the minute. Has the potential to go far but he'll only get there if he listens to what people are telling him.

Frankie Gavin - Quality skills but lacks power. He can succeed at world level but will have to be prepared to go the full twelve rounds a lot to do so.
