Kell Brook
Someone please buy that oaf a personality. If there has ever been a more boring individual involved in boxing I am yet to hear of him. The man drives me to change channels whenever he opens his mouth.

Re: Kell Brook
I've never seen a boxer thats a prospect for so long.............his personality certainly doesn't help either

Re: Kell Brook
Nearly nine years as a pro, talent to burn, unbeaten...and this is where his career is at.
Shocking state of affairs really.

Re: Kell Brook
Compare that to Amir Khan who, in 8 years (debut anniversary in a few days) has campaigned at LW and LWW, won a world strap, defended it 5 times and only 'really' lost it once (LP is an NC in my eyes).
Part of Brook's problem is that, in a normal 9 yr career, most people would consider it reasonable for someone who started at 147 to be moving up to say 154 after 6-8 yrs at the weight. But as Brook has achieved little and is still just a fringe contender, the fact his body naturally is outgoing the weight makes him look bad.
If he has been half as successful as Amir and was now saying "my body's outgrowing the weight and I need to go to 154", nobody would bat an eyelid.

Re: Kell Brook
To be honest have just had a look at his career and its pretty poor. 29 fights and 20 of those have been against other British fighters. He really just has not had any ambition in his career at all.

I broke so many house rules in the space of a few days I had to be relieved of my duty!
A PM would've been polite but hey ho......nice to have the burden lifted tbh and, frankly, I was terrible at it anyway!

I think you did a fair job, TopHat. You certainly lasted longer than I thought you would!

Haha appreciated, my favourite old adversary!
In fairness, on Saturday I posted asking for a stream/link to the boxing which we've been expressly told not to do (my excuse being that I was actually paying for the fight legally, but was just unable to watch it live at the time) and then last night I got dragged down into a verbal slanging match on the N&CA forum which I was meant to be policing and allowed C_S to wum me into losing my rag.
It's the WUM's that turn reasonable posters into monsters but sadly it never seems to be the wums that are punished.....

in fairness, as the N&CA affairs thread descended into anarchy I did think "erm, I'm meant to be doing something about this not making it worse!" but I let things run away from me.....

I agree with this statement, although Davide has been gone for a while, comes back and stays for a little while before the mods kick him off again so they are doing something. its the subtle WUMs that go under the radar.
Aw just noticed the demotion mate! You being a mod was superb, although I'm not too sure you ever actually did anything with it!
Anyway - its all good. I certainly don't have the temperament to be a mod to deal with some of the utter clowns that post here, although I'd be excellent in enforcing consistency in the moderation.

In reference to the OP - unblocked him for this:
I'll have a chat with him next sparring session.

Stop attention seeking will you. Either block Az or don't, nobody cares if you want to keep taking him on and off your foe list like some angry hormonal teenager.

If I wanted your opinion I'd ask for it, my reference is that I was posting on his topic despite having him blocked. The information was for Azania in that I was replying to a decent topic idea.
You really are quite self important aren't you?

I just find your whole "I love Az, I hate Az" a bit boring. Stop being a sissy and man up.

Thanks for keeping us informed of your mental state. I'm sure the whole forum wanted to know what your opinion of me was.
If I regarded your opinion as I do others then I'm sure your advice would be gratefully received. Fact of the matter is though, communicating with you is as pleasurable as I'd imagine licking the crud out of the corner of my cats eye would be. So you can be blocked too

Exactly my thoughts when you posted initially. We got there in the end, well done.

Re: Kell Brook
Kell Brook is the boxing equivalent of beige paint.
I have zero interest in him. The way he's been matched is so safety-first he should be in Deontay Wilder's camp.

In fairness to Brook, it wasn't his fault that the Alexander fight fell through.
