    I've been critical of Dibb a fair bit, and justifiably so too, but he conducted himself quite well last week.

    Do you know him personally Ash?

    Look, he probably is, though he has had his moments where he deserves a bit of stick (biting, and the whole fiasco with the Japanese boxer).

    It's not a competition Ash :lol: I'm just asking to see what you're basing it on.

    Like I said, he conducted himself well last week, and showed genuine concern for his opponent after the KO. It was good to see too. Full props to him :good

    I still have memories of him showing his prickdom in the ring though.

    Perhaps.
    He is fairly handy with his punches, though does have flaws that IMO will prevent him from becoming a main contender internationally.

    Provided I see no more of his dog shots and biting, good luck to the kid. :good

    I'm sure working with Billy H will help iron out any issues that need addressing before he steps up again :good

    Look, for my take on this: Billy has done a few wrong things on the way through and most of that came down to immaturity. I have spent a bit of time in his company and he has grown into a lovely lad. Away from it all he is quite humble

    Funny this thread is here today. Yesterday I had a very long Discussion with a couple from Denmark who told me Mikkel Kessler is a very nice man. I did explain to them this is a rarity in boxing.LOL

    I think if you look back I mentioned to deram what a nit picking pain in the ass he was! This was a couple from Denmark that had dealings with him at fund raisers ,I believe they owned a Toy company.

    :lol: Nice to see someone that remembers some of the oldies.

    Whatever happened to all the Danish posters? There were at least 5 or 6 that I used to interact with daily but they all ****ed off or changed usernames after the Calzaghe fight.
