official boxing thread...

can't stand warren.

he's always in the right that guy.

his shit don't stink.

Burns is fighting Walsh because he needs to get at least one TCOTU fight under his belt before the English press will start to pay attention to him properly. Everyone knows its just a warm-up for a possible unification bout next year.

But you're basically right. It's a bit of a comedown after his demolition of Mitchell.

Carl Froch is an atheist!

Whoop whoop!

fucking hell, Manny Steward passed away yesterday, one of boxing's greatest trainers! Didn't even know he was ill!

yeah sad news.

colon cancer apparently.

was he lennix ( canadian but lets pretend im british ) lewisis trainer eddie

lived here till he was 12.

lucky for him jimmy saville never found out then

i'm realistic when it comes to lewis.

he came back to britain cos he saw the support bruno had when he fought tyson.

canadians don't give a shit about boxing really do they.

certainly not back then anyway.

one of my favourite fighters though.

plenty of lennox vids on me youtube channel.

so what does everyone make of this 50 cent/floyd mayweather feud.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has come swinging back at his former friend, rapper 50 Cent. Two days ago the rapper officially announced his departure from the "The Money Team" - a phrase that Mayweather coined for his close friends and associates. 50 Cent was under the impression that Mayweather would become his partner in a brand new promotional company, TMT Promotions.

Mayweather backed away from TMT and continued to work with his existing partners, Golden Boy Promotions and adviser Al Haymon. 50 Cent started a new company, SMS Promotions. The SMS roster includes Gamboa, Billy Dib and Andre Dirrell.

On Friday night, 50 Cent took to the social networks -firing shots at Mayweather and his adviser Leonard Ellerbe. He also dared Mayweather to fight Gamboa.

"Gamboa wants to fight Floyd. I will put up a extra 20 million for the winner. [Gamboa] don't like it that Floyd pulled out [from the TMT Promotions venture]. Ellerbe, you a broke bum. Gamboa wants to fight, tell [Floyd to] lace up. Gamboa is the truth...Floyd knows that....stop tricking and fight. Gamboa moving up in weight Floyd. You should have known not to go against me punk. I can't hang out with Floyd no more...I'm tired of running from Manny Pacquiao ," the rapper wrote on the social networks.

Mayweather answered back and their war or words is getting down and dirty. He jabbed at 50's new promotional company and then fired on 50 himself.

"SMS = Snakes Maneuver Slick, SMS = Sisters Managing Sports, SMS = Similar Mayweather Show. [Mayweather then posted a photo of 50 Cent with the following title] a male boxing groupie.. hold my belts because your album sales have declined. [Mayweather posted another photo with the title] f*** boy you look cute in that [TMT] jacket," Mayweather wrote.

"I respect the shooter, not the one who got shot [referring to 50 Cent getting shot in 2000]. [Mayweather posted a final photo of 50 Cent with the following title] hold my money, f*** boy."

David Haye is in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here this year....

The Cobra was awesome again. Another victory for The Bomber as well. Things are looking good for British boxing.

you fucking love the cobra

Carl Froch is fucking heroic, an amazing fighter who keeps proving people wrong at every turn.

Bellew has really surprised me how much he's come on as a fighter over the last 2 years. Hope he gets another shot at Cleverly (who has done nothing since becoming a "champion") before too long.

yeah he's proved me wrong a few times froch.

the only time he got away with it was the dirrell fight.

tipped dirrell going in and i thought he did enough. ;D

Yeah I had Dirrell winning that one

gonna put ricky hatton in my 2013 death pool. looked suicidal there

yeah needs to pull himself together.

sad end.

thought he was ahead to.

sucker shot.
