    They get plenty of stick about there opinions and lack of them at times but i'd like to say being around them today at weigh in i thought they was top class.

    Nelson and McCory were spot on with fans taking pics etc and even Haye took time to while readying himself for interview, Spencer Oliver seemed like he was on a mission yet still took photos and Jamie Moore is a gent.

    Dave Clark having a laugh with people, Watt seems a nice guy as well.

    I met some other fighters like Wadi Camacho, Dave 'Kid Dynamite' Walker and Dean Byrne and everyone was spot on.

    That's why i love this sport the fighters mixing with fans, banter galore and all races there bonding in a time where Britain's been affected by the terrible actions on Wednesday. Kessler's fans having a laugh as well that's what i hope will happen after tomorrow when hopefully Froch wins :yep. Nervous i must say..

    Props to the Sky lads, Spot on guys.

    No doubt they are great with the fans off camera. They are just shite on TV. The production has gotten a bit stale now. Need some fresh faces and talent commentating and doing punditry IMO. Fair play to them mixing with the fans and that. :good

    I'm not sure why they should get praise for being pleasant human beings, Skills. It's their dreadful performance in their paid roles that bothers me.

    Yeah I'm sure they're all good people. It's just that they're not that great at broadcasting which is a shame when you see the quality of Showtime's production in the US for example

    I'm sure they are. But the fact is people on here only really care about them for what they do on camera given that's what they're paid to do & what should enhance the cards Sky show. And they're poor at best in general so that's why they tend to get stick.

    The vast majority of people in boxing are good guys really from what I've experienced. Probably due to the fact they're mainly a grounded, working class group who can associate with the fans

    Yeah sadly people on here have become biggest bunch of whingebags going and that's why i've started to drop off with posts. Really sad to see pretty much every thread full of moaning and groaning.

    Sheep like following posts. The Sky lads aren't the best but there top bunch.

    Nice to hear they are all good lads, and on another note its nice to see most of our class British Forum posters haven't de-camped 'elsewhere'

    The Lounge has become a very odd place

    Yeah i know some lads tried the other place and couldn't get into it. Shame the lounge has gone down the pan. So many memorable threads and posts there. I can't believe i didn't visit the Lounge for two years :lol::patsch.

    What we really need is someone to explain the rules to us...

    It's good to know they are all decent blokes, I always expected Jim Watt to be a miserable twat for some reason.
