I was too young to properly appreciate Naseem in his pomp. Highly advise folk to check this video. Unbelievable. Lightning fast and takes the utter michael.

Fucking hell; how can a sportsman let himself go that much. Â Bit sad really.
Been to one boxing bout in me puff; at SECC in 1996. Â Was over in three punches, inside 30 seconds.
Wasn't cheap either; bars were rammed so access to bevvy was limited; got out and no where to go except back into the workies transit van we had endured through with a few cans, and onto M8 home to Edinburgh, without cans this time. Â Too late to get a bevvy back there too. Â Absolute disaster of a night. Â
Listened to Steve Bunce not long ago and he was saying that Klitchko had flown Fury out to a couple of camps previously to be one of his sparring partners.
The story goes that all the other boys for sparring were used apart from Fury, Klitchko's camp refused Fury the chance to spar with him.
Sure, Klitscko is the overwhelming favourite but in any fight there is a punchers chance, especially the heavyweight division.
