    Me and my girlfriend were walkin down Oxford street and I spotted him, he shook my hand and we had a chat for a few minutes, I congratulated him for his effort on Saturday night and he said he was gonna have a well deserved rest and enjoy Christmas and hopefully fight Chavez in the new year, I was a bit star struck to be fair, he was really down to earth and a nice bloke, cheers Darren.

    He seems a decent lad tbh.

    It amazes me how Boxers react to the average Joe, everyone i have met in Boxing are always happy to chat.... then you meet a footballer and the Charlie big bollox attitude comes across.

    Hope he doesn't enjoy Xmas too much and is ready to go 12 rounds to relieve Chavez Jr of his belt! Top bloke and hope he gets that fight.
    Love to see Arums face when Dazza blows his megafight with Canelo to smithereens.

    I would give him a great chance against JR if they ever fought.

    Biggest problem is that after Saturday night Arum might want Barker nowhere near Chavez. I think Barker would beat him.

    Arum will not put Chavez in with Barker! Barker would completely outbox him.

    Because boxing's a sport full of men and gentlemen who take what they do seriously. Football is full of pathetic ladyboys who are overpaid for being good at a **** sport.

    It's no surprise, when all the ******s suck you off for kicking a leather ball around, you turn into a giant **** expecting more tongue action for everyone.

    Boxers beat men up for a living and know what it means to have dignity and respect. Except for James DeGale. He's a proper ****.

    I thought he spoke he very well in defeat, made consensus p4p no.3 Sergio 'Maravilla' Martinez look far from stellar and deserves another title fight :thumbsup
