To what? Mess his pants?

Klitschko and Wigan. Both champions

Good old Barry McGuigan - tells it like it is; "they're making excuses."

My cousing used to spar with Barry - he is happy to admit that being punched by him was like being smacked in the head by a bag of concrete. Lovely fella though, by all accounts.

That's very harsh!

The bloke just went 12 rounds and took everything that Wlads could land.

Best pound for pound British boxer I've ever seen.

What a load of rubbish Klitscko said, basically saying it was Haye's fault, for not standing in front of him and letting him tee off and all his previous opponents did the same thing, that's why he didn't KO him and why he's a defensive boxer.
He says Haye didn't hurt him at all, it certainly looked that way in 2 of the rounds, when he hugged him like his boyfriend.

Agreed catalancs, his fights were never anything but exciting! Hard as nails and comes across as a nice bloke too

One of, no question.

I used to love, when his dad used to his rendition of Dannyboy before his fights.

Emotional moments in our house - I'm from Irish stock, so Barry was viewed as one of the family.

Even when I had absolutely nothing else in common with my old man, we always watched the boxing together.

Remember when one of the officials sang it at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland when Wayne McCullough beat the African lad? Real tearjerker.

Hardly a punch landed that must be one poorly toe David...

As a junior our coach always used McGuigan as an example to us, the guy never stopped pressurising his opponent!

"If you're not punching them, they're punching you" he would constantly repeat that to us till it was ingrained in our heads.

Time for Haye to move back down in weight? Can't see him getting near the Klitschkos and although it's not the glamour division he could show what a good fighter he is at a smaller weight.

Sky tv buggered up apparently. They sent a message on twitter telling folk to go to their nearest pub.

N
He needs to do something cos tonight wasn't a fight.

Used to make me puke. But the boxing was always OK.

Forget that round 3 prediction. It was like watching John Sheridan all over again how many times Haye fell over in the match.

I think he should have one last fight, a big one, dont know who against, but a final decent pay day and then retire. And then donate 10% of his fight fee to Broken Toe Research at Pinderfields.

Pack in as planned, he doesn't need the money and klitschko won at a canter without ever breaking sweat.
Klitschko was a class apart, and he's as poor a (unified) world champion as I've seen.

Yea but Haye is an arrogant sod. Don't like him. Thinks the sun shines out of his own . Glad he lost.

I don't think he understands that if you're going to act like a superstar, you have to fight like one. And he didn't.

Typical small town mentality, perfectly illustrating Vasty's well thought out post on another thread; if anyone is good enough to develop some arrogance or self-assuredness about their ability in a given endeavour, be sure to knock them down and criticise them for it.

Idiot.

Get you!

His lack of respect is cringe worthy. In the build up he claimed he had a grand plan which klitch wouldn't see coming. Right, that worked well then. Know your limits. He was never going to win.

Soo... I have a small town mentality do I? Do tell what exotic civilisations have you lived in? An Amazonian tribe perhaps? Or maybe streethouses



Oh and before you call someone an idiot. Make sure you are smarter than them or you might get yourself into trouble. The illusion that everything is peachy in Wakefield is quite contagious isn't it?

Maybe Wakefield could become famous for a syndrome in the same way as Stockholm did.

Wakefield syndrome - Thinking that all is well and that you can achieve anything when in reality you are a crock about to get your backside kicked. VK and Hull KR have a lot in common as do Wakefield and Haye.

Klitschko brothers have retired more people than the current credit crunch. When the big giants finally retire we might see the all time greatest Lennox Lewis come back for one last big pay day ala big George!

Just nobody wants to fight them, it took Haye a few years before finally getting the bottle. Even the 8 foot Valuev is crapping it!

Kimbo Slice makes his boxing debut in August I think, he will have the Klitschko's... as long as the fight is bare knuckle and in a back yard in Miami.
