No not true, they are just having a go. You could of said the same thingabout Geale when he was on his way up but he took it to Dawson, knocked out Karmazin and stole the IBF off Sebastian.
Alot of that has to with us being isolated IMO. Unless you have vast sums of money you can't get quality sparring and opponents in Australia. Will Tomlinson is heading overseas and good luck to him if he gets beaten well he would have at least had a go like Katsidis and Tupou to a lesser extent. Taylor and Kelly did it too fighting Mosley and RJJ in their primes after getting ranked fighting lesser opponents. No shame in losing to greats in their prime.
I support Tomlinson, he actually fights decent opponents and not tomato cans. I do think he lost to Klassen and I don't think he will win a world title but he will be in some good fights.
Whatever you maythink this thread wasn't about brunkers ability, you turned it into that, for some reason, carrying on like a crazy ex girlfriend
Well I don't think anyone really gives a crap about him parting with his trainer. Sounded like OP was looking for a pat on the back. He can post that stuff on the back slappers forum ESB is where we talk serious boxing not pat each other on the back.
It may mean he feels he has let Joel down and Joel may be better off with someone else. 2 cases I know of. 1. Angelo had arranged for Joel to fight Chris John for his WBA belt but the fight fell through for betting purposes as the casino where Chris was going to fight at wanted 2 Asian fighters to attract the high rollers from Asian countries and Joel missed out on a fight on a Geale undercard because of it. 2. Joel was going to try and fight another highly ranked with WBO Featherweight Orlando Cruz on the Geale-Mundine II undercard which fell through and he fought another guy instead and now Cruz is fighting Salido for the vacant WBO FW title. Thats just my opinion but thats 2 lost opportunities that Angelo may feel that he has let Joel down. Again that is only my opinion.
Look at it this way this boring ass thread that nobody gives a crap about wouldn't of even got 3 replies if it wasn't for me.
For whatever reason both fights fell through. He was offered a shot at Daud Jordan for the IBO strap but Angelo turned it down as apparently he doesn't rate the IBO. IMO Joel is a fun fighter to watch,has plenty of ticker but would fail against Jordan,Cruz and John but is a willing guy who would give it a red hot crack. He got IMO a gift on FOX card with Billy Dib when they fought some Mexicans his name was Ravioli or something so I say Joel doesn't have the skill but he's willing as they come and I would love to be proved wrong.:good
