    He's just been on BBC News giving an interview about his career and the final fight. Not a bad bit of attention.

    Thanks for that.

    He seems like a nice bloke, he really does.

    Also, he doesn't look like a guy who's been beaten 250+ times, does he?:think

    10 stoppage losses. Only time I saw him really hurt was against Colin Mcmillan. Mcmillan was like Floyd Mayweather that night.

    The article has a point.

    Whats the point of respecting a fighter who doesn't come to win? He might as well quit.

    Its not as simple as that, fighters like Buckley fight to not get stopped or cut and anything else is a bonus. A stoppage or a cut means they can't fight (and earn) for the next month or so. Its not the same as not trying to win.

    The article really pissed me off TBH because for a lot of people that the first they've heard of Buckley and thats how they'll remember him and thats not the real picture, he deserves a lot better IMHO.

    He doesn't come to win, but the reason he makes a living is that he comes to not get stopped, and doesn't. A guy who take that pain for his pride of not getting stopped by anyone deserves respect. Quit? You try and make him quit! To make him quit you've got to stop him, and no one can. Some of the best have tried and he's never been properly KOed, in 299 fights!!, as far as I know; now that you have to respect.
