    OK - here goes;

    Real Name:- Steve Tolcher

    Age:- 29

    Where I'm from:- Liverpool

    Facebook/Myspace link:- Do a seach for Steve Tolcher on Facebook, or Stegsie on Myspace - You;ll find me.

    Favourite fight:- Tough one - loved the Arthur -V- Gomez fight for just sheer excitement, but was ringside at Moore -v- Macklin and that rocked!!!

    Best fighter:- (Current) Ricky Hatton, (Past) Rocky Marciano.

    Favourite fighter to watch:- Got to be Jamie Moore.

    The One thing I love about boxing:- It's a proper sport. You can play football - you can;t play boxing.

    The One thing I hate about boxing:- Politics getting in the way of match ups.

    Boxing experience/relationship to the sport:- Started martial arts nearly 20 years ago, and fell into boxing as a way to supplement my training. For the last 10 years I've just concentrated on just the boxing side of things. I just love it. Train about 4 times per week.

    Pick for the future:- Gary Sykes or Carl Dilks.

    Worst fighter you've ever seen:- Too harsh to pick that one would never insult anyone who steps into the ring. If I had to pick I'd say probably me (loosing my last fight!)

    Worst fight you've ever seen:- see above ;)

    Your proudest achievement so far:- A bit soppy - but probably becoming a dad :smooch

    Real Name:-Boyd Smith

    Age:-20

    Where I'm from:-Born & bred Aberdeen, moved to Edinburgh for university 3 years ago and not moving back.:D

    Favourite fight:-:think Barrerra Morales 1, this year Vasquez Marquez & domestic Macklin Moore or Benn Eubank 1

    Best fighter:- Carlos Monzon, Nigel Benn or Alexis Arguello

    Favourite fighter to watch:- Nigel Benn

    The One thing I love about boxing:- Its ****ing old school man, this is what man is about, fight to see who is the best.:yep

    The One thing I hate about boxing:- The ignorant fans, the ignorant casual fans, & oh, did I say ignorance. If you don't know about the sport, **** the **** up.

    Boxing experience/relationship to the sport:- Been in a boxing gym since I was 11/12, along with football its what ive trained in. Have never went competitive above age of 16(what four years ago), but still go to the gym and train 3 days a week.

    Pick for the future:- Got to be Gamboa, at first i thought, oh yes, the general forum is going overboard again, but downloaded his Am & Pro fights to date and he's a ****ing phenom. Hopefully someone Scottish like Traynor turns pro as well & puts us back on the map, & of course David Haye for the near future pick.

    Worst fighter you've ever seen:- Got to agree with the other guy on here, Bobby Gunn takes some beating on the international stage. Theres some guy down at my gym who still insists on kicking in the ring, he is frighteningly stupid, but he doesnt know better, so he's shite ass rank as well.

    Worst fight you've ever seen:- Sprott-Skelton...

    Your proudest achievement so far procrasinating writing this **** right now when I should be studying for my law exam at half 9 tomorow. Can't **** with that.[/quote]
