CDO Forums

in a recent interiew with sky sports he listed his hobbies and he said, boxing, computer games and wargaming.

now whats this wargaming? well its warhammer and hes so pationate about it he wore a warhammer t shirt at the weigh in and match, gamesworkshop eagle and skaven on the shoulders



he lost but tbh he was playing the better game. shame, hes so talented

interisting ey?

just a quick image ill post more soon

im soon to make a celeb warhammer site cos i already know bill bailey plays warhammer (so surprise there) with his son and thats awesome, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3F2e-x_EU8&NR=1

and i heard somewhere that robbie williams does but that might of been a rumor

Hatton was doing OK in that fight for a while.
Shame he lost, the other guy seemed like a bit of a twonk.

yea i never liked mayweather. hes so big headed its unreal, but hatton couldnt stop thanking the crowd

I never liked Mayweather either! Ricky is still the man never knew he was into warhammer though, thats cool as hell!!

I saw that shirt and knew the double headed eagle was unmistakeable.

Its a shame he lost, seems like a great guy, especially compared to Mayweather.

i saw that shirt but thought it couldnt be! glad you prooved me wrong gil ! i bet he plays a beasty chaos army. who votes me honour him on cdo and invite him to join ?!

You'd have to figure out how to get in touch with him first.
You could try asking Mayweather for his phone number

Now that just sh*ts on the contrary belief that all GW players are nerds!

Now that is really cool!

Common stereotype. Besides, nerd is just a term used by those whos obsessions are deemed socially acceptable by tose who haven't got over the whole high school popularity thing. I think you gys are being a bit harsh on Mayweather, most fighters are big headed and lets face it, pound for pound there haven't been many better fighters

a friend pointed it out to me the day before the fight, on his right sleeve is the skaven symbol

Sure Mayweather is an a@@-hat however as stated he is good.

AGPO- in this day and age sure. For an extremely classy champ try Rocky Marciano. Only undefeated champion at any weight class.

Obviously the Eshin Adept he hired to train him had too many warpstone treats I think haha.

On a point earlier,
I do quite a lot of competition sparring in both Kickboxing and Tae Kwon Do. Im also ex-weapons champion of England with my Katana!

You are right most of the best fighters have an air of confidence around them and its a shame that some of us "fighters" step over the knife edge border of confidence/arrogance without knowing. The thing that gets me is that boxers do tend to try to psyche out their opponent pre-match and are rather negative to a fellow sportsman, this is less apparant in other forms of Martial Arts as even in MMA (mixed martial arts, aka UFC) fighters respect each other before and after, all I can think is that Mayweather has let the fame and media take him above his station, so to speak.

Mohammed Ali was the greatest ever (After Bruce Lee of course)

Gilzam- nope Rocky Marciano, only undefeated champ at any weight class.

What about Joe Calzaghe, one of the best boxers ever and never given the recognition he deserves!!

Go Calzaghe!

Not to mention antoher Brit who is doing VERy well at the moment, Amir Khan, did antone watch that fight on his  21st birthday a few days ago?

amir khan gets on my nerves, dono why just does

Then tell him to stop ducking Kelly Pavlik.

"Talks are ongoing about me facing Roy Jones, a genuine legend of boxing and a previous four-weight world champion, that is a fight that I think can be made. Pavlik's got the world at his feet at middleweight or super-middleweight and will want to build his unbeaten record, rather than stepping up at least one weight category to face me. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that we will face each other, but I think Jones is the right fight for me at the moment."
- Joe Calzaghe

He's not facing him so he can try and fight Roy Jones Junior instead, a legend, let Pavlik build up his own unbeaten streak and then Joe will break it

PS: That Joe Calzaghe link in my previous post doesn't seem to be working anymore, my apologies!

The ref in the hitman/mayweather fight ruined it for ricky.  Ricky's entire game is in close with deceptively powerfull jabs around the abdomen.  The ref split them whenever they go close effectively forcing hatton to use his weaker range game.  I think if there was a different ref it would have been much closer than it was.

J C has to be my favourite welshman!

Methinks the Brit contingent has an inferiority complex in regards to boxing:

Hate to say it but I think Pavlik would win, the guy is relentless and can take a  lot of punishment.

Either way it would be a great fight to see.
