Listen, you ****ers, you screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the ****s, the dogs, the filth, the ****. Here is a man who stood up.

TKO your saying it for the brutha's:smoke:yep

 

Conteh got and still gets a lot of stick for his performance in the second Saad Muhammad fight which is up there with the worst performances by a Brit in a title fight. He fought like a drunk man that night and everybody knew why.

Benny Lynch, Randolph Turpin and Conteh are all remembered for the same thing: pissing their career up a wall.

 

Are are you disagreeing with any part of my post about Conteh getting grief about not being a good role model SB?

My point was that Conteh got up too all sorts, it clearly affected his career but he didn't have to put up with the Mary Whitehouse brigade telling him what a bad role model he was.

 

Conteh was that villified after that performance I would think he was called a poor role model in some quarters. He frustrated the hell out of a lot of people that night and was pretty much written off as a **** head after that.

I agree with you on Hatton being a role model, I don't think he ever tried to put out a whiter than white image like say Beckham. I just think Conteh maybe wasn't a great example because he took a lot of stick just like Hatton is.

 

I remember Conteh in the national papers and local rumours but I honestly don;t remember the role model card being played and if it was it was the jounos doing it, not the boxing fans.

Long time ago though eh?

 

Hatton is exceedingly unlikely to ever box again, he's not a boxer any more, so I think most the Hatton stuff, the stuff we have been flooded with on here with lately, probably belongs in the Lounge.

 

I remember watching a program about him a few year ago and he was a big enough celebrity to be front page news if he went out on the town. I reckon he was pretty similar to Ricky in that everybody knew he liked a night out and also liked the ladies. From chatting to fellas that watched the Saad Muhammad fight live at the time they were really disappointed and Conteh was then written off as a drunk after that.

There's been a few sad cases but I reckon Hatton's family are a tight unit and will pull him through. Khan set himself up as a role model and the best of British so it's ironic some of his fans are having a go at Ricky who sold himself on drink pints of Guinness, playing darts and driving an Only Fools and Horses Van.

 

Was Conteh into drugs in his heyday? I know he was a heavy party animal and was a major womaniser.

 

Why get so wound up by Betty?

 

To be fair even an idiotic 4 year old can get on your tits with his whinging if he's persistant enough.

Bettys the ESB version of that "I know a song that'll get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves....." song.

 

That avatar is fantastic:rofl

 

George Michale has been sent down for drugs now.

All these rich celebs are at it.

Wake me up before you go go.............
