    Woodhall is nothing but a Calzaghe nut-hugger as well. Listen to him in the Calzaghe/Jones Jr fight, then vomit.

    One or two posts are out of order i reckon!
    To say he couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag? To say he was crap?
    Hang on, did he not win British,Commonwealth,European and a world title?
    Fight 3 of the biggest names in his division, including a legend?

    Tell ya what, i hope i get to train or manage a fighter as crap as him.

    Whether u like someone or not, u have to give credit where its due.
    He won just about every title going, he's the first to admit he's not the most skilful or flashiest boxer, but he's been very very successful and came up from the small hall/dinner show circuit all the way to the world title.

    I'm only forming this on having to sit up and being bored the **** out of by a Tarver/Woods fight that put me right the **** off any scent in appreciating Woods, so my standpoint is from a completely bias view, by the way.

    Some very nice tributes here to a genuine champion. Anyone who says otherwise is clearly looking past Woods' achievements on the domestic and European scene as well as the world scene:good.

    If you don't appreciate fighters like Woods, as well as the contribution he has made to British boxing, then you shouldn't be posting in this thread- plain and simple. Take your misinformed tripe and post it elsewhere:good.

    Watched his fight with Cloud the other night and you can't really knock his tactics at all.... infact after watching the second round I thought Woods was going to stroll past him but I was suprised at how solid Cloud's chin was. In the end Woods showed some baws to make it all the way to the 12th round which showed the character of the guy.... I don't think there are many 37 year olds that would have lasted the distance.

    All the best Woods

    i would rather he kept fighting at brittish and euro level for a couple more years made some extra money stayed at the above levels not take a beating then retire..reason

    i have never met woods but he comes across as a decent bloke who has had to work hard. realised he was not the most talented but slogged away and made himself a success.so i would not like to see him come back in three years when he has absolutely nothing left

    No thanks, I've been bored enough by his shitfest with Tarver that it's tarnished any desire to watch him fight again. Highly ignorant, sure, but you know what they say. Ignore the ignorant, there's just no changing our minds. :3
     
  15. You really are a **** of the highest order.
