and the winning number is... 88! Member 647, 2048 posts SQ 222.5, BP 152.5, DL 242.5617.5 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq | Hence the almost. He had more completely boring fights against the easiest opponents he could get and made no attempt to dispatch them. He even admitted on a recent episode of Ringside that he would try to win on points unless you "antagonised him". He ducked Benn for long enough until he needed a big pay day due to his unpaid tax bill. Eubank repeatedy makes claims to be a Warrior but in my opinion he was nothig more than a businessman who would have quit boxing in an instant if he could earn more money doing absolutely anything ele. | ||

He never tried to knock anyone out after he nearly killed that guy. He just out boxed people Personally I have no problem with that | ||

I am pro for the dish Member 934, 998 posts SQ 205, BP 157.5, DL 215577.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | martinb said: He never tried to knock anyone out after he nearly killed that guy.

A test batsman needs quick hands and feet, great balance and very good reactions. If he has guts and an innate ability to punch I think he has many of the attributes of a fighter, no one's saying he's the next Great White Hope. I've been to plenty of professional and amateur fight shows and have seen pro heavyweights who looked far worse than Flintoff does already. | ||

I don't see why he shouldn't get a licence Most journeymen heavyweights are in terrible shape and have had their brains scrambled umpteen times and they still get a licence | ||

I'd bet a lot of money, if you put Flintoff in with Haye, he's throw at least 2 punches...which would be one more than Fraudley managed! | ||

his poor male ego must be crushed Member 883, 6251 posts SQ 290, BP 180, DL 420890.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Anyone saying it's a joke is coming off as a bit clueless to me. There are some very, very bad boxers out there with pro licences. Flintoff would be the first to say he isn't going to be contending for any titles, he's in shape and has passed all the medicals so what's the problem? You don't have to be a world beater to participate in something. | ||

Hasn't always been a bench press specialist Member 44, 1907 posts SQ 252.5, BP 220, DL 210682.5 kgs @ 83kgs Eq | Cuddles said:I think the whole thing is a f**king joke and an embarrasment to boxing. I agree, its an insult to all those boxers who spend years training and fighting to become pros. Lets look at this from another angle, lets say a celebrity decides to be a strong man and he enters a pro strongman event after 14 weeks of training, how would you all feel then? | ||
