Maybe, but that doesn't reduce the effect of potentially f**king up all the hard work parents and teachers and trainers do to teach kids discipline and respect and athleticism.
I mean, it's still quite funny cos they're both as bad as each other, but in real life they should both be banned for this and their other disrespectful behaviour.
I'm not usually one for 'what message does it send out?' but that is a massively embarrassing and worrying representation of successful British professional sportsmen in an arena that a large amount of more disadvantaged young people aspire to be part of and work hard at.

I agree there is something so very dated about such a violent and dangerous sport.

Still could have been worse . They could have called the fight boxier

Haye is shit

the Heavyweight division has been dreadful in the last few years

Tyson would have ripped his head off

he's just a gobby poser

Yep, but his gobbyness and arrogance is funny to watch. He was on the fight coverage last night saying how easily he would knock Vitali out! LOL.

:D They may well do, for the inevitable match that gives money and celebrity to these two disgraceful chavs

(Before anyone asks, yes I will watch it, I'm that much of a hypocrite)

I confess.....I am a boxing addict. I have hundreds of fights in my collection :$

I've even been known to watch one.

Bit fighty are we?

Gotta be honest boxing does nothing for me. 2 big lunks punching each other till one falls over, utter artifice.

I'd watch people scrapping in a car park, that'd be more believable.

I am not a violent person. I was raised by Hippies and I am a vegetarian. Its difficult to explain why exactly I like the sport. I hate the politics of boxing and it is hard to justify the sport in this day and age. Its like a violent artform and can sometimes be beautiful to watch, there is more to good boxing than simply "two big lunks punching each other till one falls over"....on a good day boxing is about free will, its about rising above your station, its a metaphor for life.

I'd like to watch an octopus fight a bear.

Would this contest happen on dry land or in the sea? Huh?

Its a bit of an unfair fight anyways. The bear hates it when the tent tickles get to him.... !

This, and I really don't want to comment further incase I am misunderstood. :)

I don't care as long as the bears naked, the octopus is in a tutu and they both have ruby red lipstick.

I abhor violence, but love pornography.

That's ridiculous the ring seems the place he's least likely to punch someone!

:D Tweet it to NJ, quick!

I did and all
