Comment 1 - 7 of 7
donk, how u doin mate. ur right theyve lost their voics lad. as soon as u disagreewith what the majority belive they rip u up. @#$%s.
all the people that gave my original comment a thumbs down dont look so clever now
well said john. and i was proven right mr k won by tko and now he will @#$% slap haye and teach him some humility
haye has got to much to say for himself and is a very avridge boxer,who will learn maners when he fights klitchco,or he may allways have a bad back ,if he has any sense and stick to domestic fights.khan needs hand picked non punchers,i still find it hard to believe the stupid british public think he is that good beceause they read it in the sun.john j.
What? so all the people that have given my comment a thumbs down have lost their voice???? ur all hypocrites that can’t handle someone with views that are not the same as yours you should all consider moving to china as you don’t seem to like free speech. David haye is a Baw bag and will be found out. Lenox Lewis isn’t anything special he was just a bin raker that was in the right place at the right time 5 years earlier and he would still be a nobody the fact he won a poxy gold medal counts for piss all just look at Mr. Harrison!!!! Then we have loud mouth Amir who says his next opponent isn’t that good he seems to forget being thumped (maybe not beaten by limond) and beaten by Prescott. He should keep his mouth shut and if he has the ability to prove people wrong then fair play but the likes of him and haye are just jokes. and as for all the silly little children that seem to want to argue with each other on here it’s time to grow up stop putting people down because they don’t share ur view and if someone annoys you ignore them name calling is rather pathetic comment on the article not the poster
neil is gay
klitschko by knockout nice warm up to show the world how much better he is than david "pretty boy" haye
