    Matt Skelton. Coupled with him being as boring as ****, the noise he makes whenever he throws anything (I mean even a pitter patter punch as well) has gotta be one of the most annoying sounds I have ever heard. It's like he can't even be bothered to snarl.

    This poor lad:

    Ricky Colquhoun.

    I don't think he managed to punch journeyman Domvill Hendrix once. This fight turned out to be his whole career.

    Hendrix tagged him, not particularly hard, and he just went into his shell. He just didn't know what to do. Hendrix felt sorry for him in the end and gave him a little pat and word of encouragement actually.

    I've seen Royston plenty of times - he's far from shite, despite what his record says.

    Skelton is truly awful in world terms but, come on, he's achieved incredible things for a bloke who took up the sport late and has absolutely no skill whatsoever.

    I do respect the guy for what he has achieved since he packed in the kickboxing but I'm not changing my mind- he's boring as hell and that noise really irks me. Like I said, it's like he can't be bothered. Skelton just really annoys me inside of the ring, it's nothing personal.

    Royston is shite, all he does is circle the ring like Amir Khan but doesn't throw punches and when anyone goes near him he runs like a coward.

    Complete gutless ******.

    Outside of Ryan Rhodes, he was the biggest earner in Coldwell's gym one time over when he racked up a load of fights in a year.

    He is brought in to lose; I think he could be more competitive but he can fight if he needs to, trust me. He gets tagged far too often when he does so though, which is why he keeps away no doubt. I've seen him trade a few times.

    Have to admit the Rogan fight was a good scrap though.

    I think people have got me wrong. I don't despise the guy I just think he's boring. As for the Rogie fight, Rogan made that fight interesting, IMO. Would have been a hugfest had it been Skelton's way.

    I believe the man you are looking for is actually Khalid Shafiq, he was spun as the second coming of Naseem and made his debut live on SKY on the undercard of a Dean Francis fight in 98.

    I believe he got put away for drugs offences.

    You leave Funso alone, he was OK, hell he was almost British Champ (which kind of shows you weak the Heavyweights were in the 80s!)

    If you want 70/80s Heavyweights that sucked, then I give you Chuck Gardner....

    Although he did redeem himself some what in my eyes, with his pre fight (Bruno) quip.

    Interviewer: "Did you shave your hair like (a white) Hagler, to try and intimidate Frank?"

    Gardner: "No, I am going bald!"

    Emmanuel Marcos... I'll never forget the name!

    He fought Anthony Small on the Thompson/Haye undercard at Wembey Arena and he honestly looked like someone they had dragged off the street :D

    Give him his due but he realised how poor he was and went on to feign an ankle injury to get the fight called off.

    Have pity for me because also on the undercard was Roman Greenberg who I had heard a lot about but hadn't seen yet. You can only imagine the disapointment I experienced :-(
