    Bell's better than Truscott. Just didn't have the power to compete with Simpson really. He could handle Truscotts slaps and is a better boxer too !

    Hatton has more heart than Mayweather ???

    Heart gets you hurt in the ring if you dont have the skills to back it up. It amazing the criticism Bell has gotten since the fight. He would have carried on, it was Farnell who pulled him out (And rightly so i agree). He was still throwing punches even when he was stuck in the corner.

    He'd just had his best moments, think that might have been a last ditch attempt to turn things round after Simpson giving his all in the previous round. Great corner work from Arnie there. Bell was, and always will be, a class act for me. Watched him alll the way through my youth.

    Let me rephrase, more heart among other things - true he was fighting back, but he could have tried so much more in the fight earlier on, I mean the fight was practically gone after 4 rounds for him, but you never seen him just go for it, which Truscott did when he was clearly losing to Simpson, and we all know Simpson has an incredible chin and Truscott has feather fists like Bell (probably even worse) - but he still went for it.

    I don't want to be too harsh on Bell, but he just didn't look like he had it against Simpson - maybe the weight and age played a part in it.

    Thats a first Truscott slaps, Bell was far to easy to hit, Paul will stand him on his head...... Any views on Simpson vs Choi then ?

    Boro - Paul will stand nobody on there head. He couldn't punch his way out of wet paper bag. The only reason the Simpson fight was barely competetive was because of the punishment Truscott was allowing himself to take. Bell wouldn't recieve the same amount of punishment from Truscotts punches and is a better boxer.

    Simpson vs Choi would be very exciting however i'd probably say Simpson in a hard fought points win. Choi just isn't active enough and Simmo can be a very could boxer at times too. Not just a puncher

    First of all ask John Simpson if Paul Truscott can hit hard, Secondly i didnt say Paul would knock Bell out but he would win every round in the fight, far to easy to hit and he carries his hands round his chest... He should stick to acting.

    Hmmmm ????

    'Stand Bell on his head' presumably means a wide UD now does it ? No chance he would win every round against Bell. Absolutely NO chance.

    Bloody Hell, I was expecting you to have reverted to a 'split Decision' win then.

    Bell would win Monday through to Sunday so what days of the week does it leave for a truscott win ?

    Hart is a real dickwad, during the Simpson - Bell fight he kept calling Arnie Farnell "Andy"
