GlobalVillan Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Boxing. And moreover, the modern day so called Boxing "fan". 20 years ago I swear hardly anyone watched it (other than the big heavyweight fights) Nowadays it seems the world and his dog has an opinion and every single fight on the planet. Then when you look at the people who are actually there, they seem to be the absolute dregs of society. The worst of the football hooligans. A total chav sport. At least it is these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Hair tattoos. Seen two obvious ones this morning. Rob Earnshaw. Eubank Jr. How are these any better than being bald? So distracting. Shiny tattooed bald head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least way back then we used to hit each other ( Marciano,Clay,Cooper,London,etc etc ) now they just shadow box and clinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 25, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2023 My Dad boxed in his youth, and was a big fight fan all his life, right from the days of Dempsey, Louis and Marciano (he had no time for Ali, for the same reason he disliked Brian Clough - 'gobshite'). Me? Never saw the appeal at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure, 20 years ago, you had Ricky Hatton, who was immensely popular, Naz, Marco, Antonio, Barrera, Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Eric morales, Calzaghe, Roy Jones jar, non of which were heavyweights I could go on for ages, and most of myself and my circle will talk about these fighters and more often. Before that you have the golden middleweight generation of the UK, before that the Hagler Hearns, sugar Ray era etc Edited March 25, 2023 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Why has every motorway services got a mobile phone accessories shop. Just seems pretty random that heading up the M6 you’d suddenly decide you want a new case for your phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
