Well comming from Merthyr Tydfil, a town that's produced a few world british and European champions, I was a fan of boxing for many years, but it's become a circus for showmen, I personally have known many great boxers Howard Winstone the Ex world featherweight champion who passed away not to long ago lived a few doors up from me, there's a newly released film called the risen a biopic of his rise to fame, some of the most lovely people you could meet are boxers, I'm pleased to say I witnessed some of the greatest fights ever during the seventies, but now it's mostly a complete joke 12 rounds instead of 15, with so many version of the titles it makes a mockery of this greatest of sports, the last time we saw a truly world class batch of fighters in all the weight catatgories you would have to go back to the seventies, and the middleweights the eighties, the only thing I can say positive about the Hayle & Klitchko is they both are a credit to thier trainers and themselves for the physical condition they have turned themselves out, the first heavyweight fighters I can remember for years that actually look like they can fight!
