Ignorant British boxing journalists

The BBC is just that the BBC. I too read the article from "Ben-der" and he claimed the fight never lived up to its hype. At the end of the day there journalists coverage of boxing is weak, has no depth and most of there guys simply tow the company line. There pundits are equally as bad. I mean does John Rawlings know ANYTHING about boxing?

 

Funny, I just read the exact same article and thought just the same things as you. What a muppet that guy is. Haye will make money anyway, he can go and fight in the US and will already have big networks interested as he is exciting, powerful, talks well and looks the part.

Sadly he is also no smack talking but that will appeal to a certain sector of the US market and probably help him too.

If he was with Warren there would be another 10 fights before he got put in with a danger.

 

You rarely got proper boxing journalists now. The sport simply is not popular enough and we end up with part-time Football journalists butchering our sport.

Indeed a few years back I remember some BBC clown (Adrian Childs) doing the boxing; he was mocking Larry Merchant. Now I know Merchant is not everyones cup of tea, but I do know Merchant knew more about boxing in his little toe than Childs knows period.

 

Only the ones that have been posting here for sometime. Like myself cough * cough *.Theres way too many fanboys and children on these boards now who are completely incapable of writing subjective material.

 

I usually like Dir's stuff, but I do think he's mixed-up about Warren.

No arguement Warren can make himself and his fighters good money.
But that's so often achieved with easy marks, safe fights and paper belts, with actual big-name fights seldomly sprinkled in.

So if Haye wants to just make cash, sure Warren is a good pick.
If he wants to fight the top names as soon as possible, no way.

 

of the 50% of us on here that know what were talking about, 99% of them cannot spell or construct a sentence, me inlcuded.

Oh if haye signed a deal with Warren where Warren promoted him but Haye picked the fights, would not be a bad idea. I reckon Haye will sign with GBP.

 

Thats the problem in a nutshell IMHO.:good

 

I really try and avoid anything the BBC has to say about any sport. It is not just the boxing that let's them down, they are often in a complete mess when it comes to motorsport and many other "niche" sports they do not bother broadcasting. I think it is just a case of lazy journalism.

I did laugh when I got up on Sunday morning to read on ceefax htat the Haye vs Macca fight did not live up to expectations. Personally I think it went exactly to expectations unless you were Warren or an Enzo fan.

 

Haye is good enough to last without Frank Warren. He has won the undisputed title without him!

Some fighters though would have won world titles sooner if it were for Frank Warren, if they are good enough or not, neither Skelton or Rees proved much but both got shots. Granted Arthur wasnt handed the WBO like Warren had hoped but he still gets a shot at one of the best p4p in his backyard. If that was Hennesey or Hobson, they would have to travel and get less money.

 

I found it astonshing how many journalists were picking Maccanareli.

And don't get me started on the Khan hype machine.

 

Id say before the fight more people knew who Maccarinelli was than David Haye... Frank Warrens influence...

 

Did u just use the word *subjective* in relation to your own opinions?

 

annoying that even a couple of days later with time to reflect, some "journalists" are claiming it was a 50-50 fight and it was just that haye managed to land first.
