Just like to say I really enjoy reading the pro's point of view.On the whole they are pretty honest and realistic(apart from Audley) Even fighters I would of been against like Derry Mathews get respect for coming here and giving there opinions.:good

Can anyone link me to such threads and users as I hardly ever see these?

[robpalmer135]

fair play to them for coming on here but its only the guys like Bellew who gets involved in discussion about all boxing not just about themselves that should be applauded.

[achillesthegreat]

bellew gets involved, as does lord jeffro.

still nice when matthews, moore etc come on.

[robpalmer135]

does piss me off when you get a fighters family member/trainer or friend come on and bang on about how there fighter could beat surgar ray leonard and how the afrobum they beat last week was a dangerous opponent.

[HairyHighlander]

Is that any different to a general boxing fan/follower.

If anything it gives CERTAIN people a ticket to go overboard and pull out there E-WARRIOR attitude.

Think about it.

yeh but when i talk about a fighter i have to use actual facts like there record and opinion put together from watching there fights.

they can come on and say "I watch him in the gym every day he is world class"......................course he is, thats why his promoter put him in with a guy no ones ever heard of in a 6 rounder last time.

Same as fight fans say the same stuff too Eg. he will do this, he will do that etc etc and they have usually looked at records and formed opinion also.

Anyways, whats a coach/trainer supposed to say ?

A coach/trainer can say this and it can be true yet the MANAGER may not think so, or is looking after there goldmine regarding the 6 rounder ya mentioned, aye ?

Using actual facts rather than supposition is something you seem unfamiliar with at times, Rob.

Would really like to see Audley post on here.

i think that "normal" posters like myself have a more open and varied opinion on fighters due to having no bias.

I am happy for a someone to put forward a reason why someone is better than i think they are, but "i see them every day in the gym trust me" is not a reason

to be honest i am still very new to boxing (only been following it for around 4 years) and i have never done the sport or been to many live shows. due to this i rarley go into detail on why i think one fighter will beat another or on how far i think a fighter will go, but i always put allot of thought into my predictions and most of the time there correct.

[robpalmer135]

Derry Matthews on Paul Smith

"paul smith will win this british title an wipe the grin of everyones face the lad has power skill the whole lot in my eyes and will be the new british champion and will beat everyone at his weight , come on smigga lad do yourself an the boys proud x "

Wheres the issue if he says it compared to me as a fan saying it ?

fair point. it shows there opinion is not always "expert though"

With Derry its more likely to be a headbutt than a kiss.
