Flintoff: I used to stop for sandwiches – now I stop to spit blood

Why the hate for Flintoff?

 

Good luck to him, he's gota have a bit of power in his bowling arm!

 

^^ This ^^

 

he is a well known **** away from the 'man of the people act' for camera

the current england team dislike him to such an extent he isnt welcome in their dressing room
he slagged off michael atherton and called him a ***** when athers is well liked
he let england down when pkaying for them (obviously was heroic on other occasions too)
the pedalo incident
read somewhere as well about him being so drunk on that tour there was supposed to be a team meeting and he just lay flkat on his back in it out cold.

sure there is more but that is a couple of things

 

I keep imagining Flintoff v Zahid Kahut...bring it on! Could be a 'classic'.

 

Is this just for 1 fight or is he actually planning on actually having a career?

 

Oh, ok. Don't know much about cricket, but I always thought he was a decent bloke. Pretty funny, too.

He doesnt look very good from that video.

 

:rofl

I remember him on Prizefighter. My nan could knock him out.

 

He has said he is planning more than one fight. The MEN is far too big a venue for him to headline against someone who is going to have to be a nobody.

 

He's fighting at HW and he's lost 40lbs....how big was he to begin with?

 

Unless losing so much weight has helped him, I can't see this ending well.

His body appeared utterly gone at the end of his cricket career, and at the of times he was inflexible and immobile.... boxing requires both attributes.

It's one thing doing well on a punch machine or appearing to whack bags pretty hard.... entirely another hitting somebody else and being hit back.

 

Isn't this just for one of those 'reality' tv shows? Anyway he seems to be a big fan of the sport so he's good with me. Just hope boxing doesn't in some way get embarrassed because of this.

 

fighting Audley then?

 

I wonder if he will get in the ring in a pro fight. I saw an article on the tube of someone reading the dailymail, it looks like he maybe up for it.
