    thats my only problem with him


    i mean his body condition on saturday was the worst ive seen it since his 1st bout. i know some people will say yeah everyones body is different but as a professional athlete i dont think you should look like that. hes amazingly talented and has a great 'ring presence' (if thats the right term) id hate to see him not go to the top because of a conditioning issue

    Whilst he's beating people so early he should be more active, like onceper month, would help his conditioning also

    rob just because he doesn't look like he's chisiled from stone doesn't mean he is lacking dedication, belielve me he can do 12 rounds easy now!
    sorry he doesn't give you a hard on looking at him maybe you would like to watch bodybuilding comp to get what you like?

    what the **** are you on about? i've just said i think gavin can go a long way, but i suppose i'm being negative now:nut. all i'm saying is the cuts is a worry as it's happening very early in his career. you might not agree with that, but not sure why you would get so offended by it. are you gay?

    also, i'm a boxing fan, and as a boxing fan means i like discussing all boxers, not just british boxers, hence the reason why i also post on the general forum.

    True but I'm not concerning myself with it that much.... remember Hatton's early days?

    At the end of the day it's just completely ignorant to suggest someone lacks dedication by just looking at their body without knowing anything about the person. FFS :patsch

    Look at Juan Diaz. He doesn't look like he's trained a day in his life and yet he has great stamina which indicates that he does train hard and is well conditioned. It's just genetics.


    Look at this video of the world amateur championships though

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBAJ3_uEEG8[/ame]

    Frankie looks skinny and ripped compared to what he is now. This is him making 60 kilos (9 and a half stone) every day.

    yeah frankies paper thin irish skin could be a problem in the future

    a lot of irish fighters seem to get cut easily in fights like andy lee , john duddy , bernard dunne its just part of the DNA unfortunatley

    hopefully he gets a good cutsman


    p.s definition is not that important , its a boxing match not a ****ing mr.universe
