    By fighting Dondon Sultan on October 31st, is he wasting his time?
    I can not understand why a fighter of his experience would bother with a fight like this at his age. does he really need the money that much?

    It's kinda sad. This is a guy who in 1995/6 beat Jake Rodrigez,Willy Wise,Livingstone Bramble & drew with Corey Johnstone. Those days are long gone.

    When he was offering Mundine 1 million dollars a few years back, was his team capable of coming up with that sort of cash?

    Tony Caradona had dodgy written all over him. i have no sympathy for Shannan in this deal. he took a risk and it didn't pay off.

    So I suppose you have no sympathy for Peden who got burnt as well? Or Witherspoon and the endless list that got burnt by King and Co over the years?

    Never liked Taylor, the bloke is a grub from what I've heard. As far as him fighting Sulton, its a waste of time. He should hang up the gloves.
