    anyone think he can come back to any decent standard after 3 recentish stoppages ?

    personally I think he will always be a decent domestic level fighter, never a threat on a european or world level due to his vulnerability, but always worth watching, as he is a good technician, and at any stage during the fight it could end, and in my opinion, that alone makes him interesting enough to watch.

    Nope. I hope he can come back as I always enjoyed watching him but he's been found out, IMO. The BBC did a good article on him a little while back as well.

    Nah he wont come back. Found out at a higher level really and can't see him getting back to where he wants to be. Seems ok in my opinion and is brutally honest about those around him. I prefer Choi to be honest but wish Derry luck.

    Hope he makes a good comeback people on here seem to give him no support which is a shame.

    You must have missed all the threads of people calling dirty derry and what not. He has a good few fans on here but another few that just don't like him.

    :goodYep. I used to enjoy going on there at work but now it's full of jokers, unfortunately.:-( I'm always reading the ESB homepage and I used to read the threads on here all the time until eventually I decided to just join and get in on the fun:lol:.

    I agree with you 100%,mate. Wish I was on here sooner.:good

    I must admit, the way he disrespected Choi prior to their fight really turned me against him in that fight. I remember him and his mate kept s******ing like a pair of immature kids when Choi started speaking at the presser.

    My opinion on him as a fighter is he is entertaining to watch though. As far as outside of the ring goes, I can't really comment as I don't know the guy!:good

    Lol- the blocker thought I typed the 'N' word. I'd just like to point out that I did say S N I G G E R I N G. I am also no racist. I've been tarnished!
