    Shame on anyone shoving a camera in his face after the year he’s gone through and the mental state he’s clearly in, all for a few views.

    If this is just theater, I guess it merits some kind of kudos, some impressively performed outré stuff;

    But I get the feeling all is not well.


    @Bulldog24, your take?

    Snr is one of my all time favourite boxers-
    watching him and Benn got me into boxing.
    His head is clearly not in a good place at the moment whether through health or drugs or both.

    Losing his son really has messed him up.

    Then having the possibility of seeing another son get seriously hurt fighting weight drained against a drugs cheat must have really tipped him over the edge.

    I hope Eddie can sleep well at night. Wanting everyone to feel sorry for Conor.
    What a complete twat

    I was matching Nigel’s every expression watching that clip. I think Chris should be kept away from the cameras.

    People make him out to be a saint, but the bloke had an affair and then denied the existence of the child, Nathaniel. Must have been very tough for Nathaniel and his mother, too.

    It's sad what happened to his other son, and I'm sure everyone can empathise, but let's not go overboard here.

    He also gave away two of his kids to someone he barely knew in Vegas.

    Someone just told me he didn't have an affair, so I might be wrong on that.

    What happened with the other two?

    Junior and Sebastian were adopted by a Vegas woman in the 2000s, with the blessing of both Senior and Karron (who was struggling to keep them in line), for the sake of keeping them out of trouble and furthering the development of their sporting aspirations—Junior wanted to be a boxer, of course, while Sebastian had his eye on a career in American football at the time.


    Anyway, Senior has his foibles, obvious personal flaws, we all knew that, but he was a tremendous fighter and consummate showman, and it's a pity to see him sink to these depths.

    His brothers are mentally unwell too, so obviously runs in the family.

    Don’t give that shameless outfit the views they crave if you haven’t already, shameless putting that out…

    I agree. It made me sad seeing the little I saw of it before switching off.

    He actually met Nathaniel Wilson’s mother in 1987 when a waitress at the seafood restaurant he was at with Mickey Duff, how he managed to blag a meeting with Duff as a 4-round prelim boxer I’ve no idea. Though he did prove himself of course!

    Clearly a very poorly man right now, being exploited and disrespected.

    People tend to overlook the tremendous puinshment he took in his career and I think its starting to surface now.
