    I loved to hate him. That night when Collins clobbered him, I was watchin in the pub and I swear the roof lifted off the place! 

    The Watson fight, that was tough man.

    Box nation? Yeah ive watched. Friday fight night on sky is pretty decent as well. Its just the big fights that are on primetime and you'e paying £15 or watchin fuzzy coverage on tinterweb!

    Mind you, the Mayweather fight - found it on the web after I'd paid and it was a few seconds ahead of the primetime coverage!!

    Gonna get up to liverpool to watch some live fightin again soon. Saw the magnificent seven (minus one) when Degale beat Smith - good night apart from that.

    Get off the stage. Eubank was only 29 the first time Collins beat him - that was 2 years YOUNGER than Collins - and Benn and Collins were the same age!

    yeah mate i'd like me to get to a fight soon if i can, would def go america if mayweather fought pacman i would think.....i seen on ringside the otehr night that smith was calling groves out, could be an interesting one that....!

    Yeah thats the one boxnation, ive not bothered at all with primetime, i find Khan a little greedy bugger and have refused to pay to watch him so far.....!

    I'm not a huge groves fan, i think degale got it all wrong that night, the better fighter definitely didnt win. i'd like to see smith and groves have a good tear up thats for sure!

    i dont like degale, but there was no way he should have given groves a chance in that fight - as you say, he got it wrong.

    Groves v Smith would be a proper brawl!

    Degale does his self no favours with his attitude, i like his talent, i jsut think he comes across a bit immature at times, but that might improve with time im thinking!
