    You probably haven't got the codecs you need

    Install vlc media player, it plays nearly anything and simply installing it will get your codecs up to scratch (I think)

    Thanks, Ross. Very sad indeed. The end of the interview was interesting when Darren Sutherland's father said there was more to the story than has been published but he couldn't talk about it for legal reasons. He seemed to resent Maloney in the interview as well. Totally tragic set of circumstances.

    Darren was found dead shortly after 3pm and according to Darren's father, the family only found out at about 7.30 or 7.45??? Darren's father said that there were RIP messages on Bebo before the family had even found out? That is shocking! I hope the family find some peace and reconciliation in all of this.

    ^ Oh man, that is so wrong, depressing **** to say the least. I want to know what Maloney did to the guy.

    I think it's safe to say that even if he hadn't killed himself, he never would have been world champion.

    Sounds a very complicated, self doubting person. Needs to feel really comfortable to perform at his best.

    Seems like Tony Bellew was right about his family not knowing before others.

    The power of the internet aye!

    Even if he was a nut job he could have been champ. It's not like it hasn't been the case many times over. He was very talented and the most pro like out of all the ams.

    He wasn't a nut job though.

    He had the worst mental attributes you could have in a boxer really. Anybody who's crippled by self doubt, overly worried by a cut, is prone to severe bouts of depression and loses confidence in their own ability (after just 4 fights against cans) is not going to be a world champion.

    I'm talking about his potential, I'm not dancing on his grave.

    When is the right time to talk about it? If it's ok for his dad to go a TV talk show and discuss it, I'm sure it's fine for a few randoms to talk about it on a forum.

    Sounds like you're talking about his lack of potential. :roll:

    Just show the guy some respect.
