    Definitely scores well for smugness, but essentially a decent chap. You've got to have a bit of cockiness in this sport, and why not...he's achieved a lot for a guy just out of Uni.

    He looks like a prime Nick Cotton, and he was a dodgy geezer.

    I like him, also a extremely smart chap completing a math degree along with his boxing.

    Loved his entrance in Birmingham last year, he stole the entire show for me that night and I became a fan!

    I don't like the fact he has wasted his clearly superior intelligence on Boxing instead of using it to get ahead in life because he has a Maths Degree you know..


    And he probably gets all the girls.



    I'd love to see Tony B smash him around the ring. :oops:

    Personally I can't stand the bloke.

    Everything about him

    **** bandana
    Shitter entrance music
    Shittier 2-2 in his exams
    Even shitter massive chin
    Even shitterer air of smugness
    Powder puff **** ex stable mate too.

    Can't wait to see his massive 'scream mask esque' chin cracked across the ring. Hopefully it'll
    be Bomber doing it :good


    Edit: oh yeah and Grant likes him too :)

    Those are some harsh criticisms, none of those are as bad as Bellew's last 'performance'.

    I like him, wants to be a crowd pleaser a bit too much though.

    as for the disrespect for Braehmer and Bellew that is pure frustration.

    when the Braehmer fight was announced he very diplomatic in his answers and showed respect for Braehmer then he pulls out without even having the courtesy to phone his team, as a result that fed into the Bellew situation then again he was perhaps slightly pissed that Bellew kept calling him out when in fact Bellew, at that time, wasn't (perhaps still isn't) at his level.

    Remember he became Commonwealth, British and European champion in essence as a part time boxer whilst studying that alone gains respect from me.

    Christ when I came home from work I had to study to get gain my degree and sometimes I was falling asleep with the books and papers all around me, so imagine what it must be like after a gruelling session in the gym.

    He seems alright and makes for good scraps. We can't blame him for the Maths Degree quips.
    I'm beyond hating his ring entrances now. I put them in the "so bad, they are good" category like "Plan 9 from Outer Space" and "Godzilla v The Smog Monster".
