Hi Willie,

when i say i would loose respect for you for fighting for the WBU belt, its because i would loose respect for any boxer fighting for the WBU. I feel that the money you spend paying the sanctioning fees to the WBU would be much better used going towards a better level of opponent. A few thousand pounds could be the difference between a WBU bum and a former European or British champion. I no what I would rather see and it would also push you up the British rankings.

I accept your situation is difficult currently, and that without a promoter its difficult to get a domestic title fight, and me saying i would loose "all" respect for you is harsh. apolagies for that. however i would loose respect for you and anyone that fights for the WBU as the WBU tarnishes the reputation of the sport I love.

I think everyone on this thread wishes there was no such thing as the WBU, and i feel the only way to make that a possibility is to slag off, diminish and disregard the belt as much as possible.

Good luck with your career I will always support you and respect you for risking your life in the ring, but the WBU........it makes me mad.

 

good stuff.hows he been training?hope hes ok mentally after the brook fight when he steps in the ring

 

he looks in good shape just now anyway

 

thats good to hear,i think he knows that he stepped into the ring with a potential world champ that night

 

i understand what your saying, but for me to go higher up the ratings who would i fight as im rated 4th in britain just now, with thaxton, murray and khan above me, so i would need to fight one of those guys to move up the rankings, and unless im in one of their camps its going to be hard to secure a fight with any of those lads

 

brooke looks to be a really good fighter

 

unbelievable power in those jabs and straight rights

 

aye he looked a class fighter, that was the first time i saw him
