I've lost all respect for the British press

Here is the latest insult to journalism from the Mirror. On Haye vs Fraudley:

Adam Booth, when we met him last week for lunch, admitted he would "hate" to see this fight happen and I couldn't agree more with him.

There are plenty more credible opponents for Haye to fight, even if the Klitschko brothers look like avoiding him.

Yes, you read that correctly. Sickening. No wonder the casual fans over there are so delusional. This is the information they get.

haha. i always say how much i hate the klits but i have to side with them on this one because haye is clearly ducking them.

the K brothers lol avoiding haye and theses guys call themselves sportwriters..they better cover cricket or wheres the best tasting tea in london for boxing and whats happening they know zero about...shills for haye looks more like it..next bring on brian london or dick richardson for haye..that probably could make money there also..ihope the stiiff koes him early...

Canvas I am sure you've lived long enough to know not to paying attention to Brittish newspapers.

The only paper I occasionally look at is the Sunday Times.

So I said, whats wrong with great tasting tea in London.

theres nothing wrong with the tea in london..used it as a reference point meaning instead of covering boxing they should write about great tasting tea places in london or if they were usa writers id suggest write about where to get a good pizza cause they know zero about the fight game.

I know what your point was DMAR.

I love tea. I'm the one American who feels like he was born in the wrong country. I really should have been British.

You'll be shocked to discover that I don't drink tea

...loil im italian and yes i love my red wine...

Canvas, I found the article to be incoherent. In other words, I agree that the writer was delusional. I can't make sense out of what is happening in London or Germany in terms of boxing. It's better left ignored.

you don't drink tea, Ali??? come on man. Thats like an American who doesn't eat junk food all the time and get fat as hell (yeah, 90% of Americans seem to do that).

My best friend is a typical fat American. He'll drive around the Walmart parking lot for 10 mins looking for an up close parking space. Every year a ton of people crash at his house for about 3 days over New Year's holiday. After 3 days of bacon as part of breakfast, doritos or Dairy Queen blizzards for afternoon snack, my little brother was like, man, you can't eat bacon, chips, and blizzards every single day. My friend responds, "what are you, a health freak??"

The typical fat American. No exercise, eat all the junk food possible.

It's the Daily Mirror, that's one the tabloids that make stuff up about celebrities.

I wish he was my father.

True story from an American Wal Mart. I was at a Walmart in Berlin Md (right outside of Ocean City, Md), the other weekend when we were visiting my in-laws.

Ocean City, Md. is a tourist trap. Berlin being a few miles away, is busy during the summer. The Walmart parking lot is jammed. No up close spaces. No problem. My wife parks in the back and my wife and I walk up. We get inside, then my wife smacks me on the arm and says listen to that guy.

I look over and listen closely and there is a 350 pound dude complaining to a Walmart employee that there was nowhere to park. More specifically, he is complaining that he had to park at the end of the lot and walk. He was getting louder and louder.

It was freaking bizarre.

lol lol..they could have fat ass parking spaces like they do handicap parking..they will fill up fast lol.

It wasn't John Goodman by any chance ?

I like tea too. CaptAndrew : there is an obesity problem in GB as well.

I don't mean to sound anti british. I love England. I'm Canadian by birth for God's sake. I m just not happy with GB's top boxers or the awful sports press at the moment.

The Question I have is: what are you doing at a WalMart ? You could not pay me to set foot in a WalMart. In addition to being an evil corporation, they are tacky.

awwww walmart..the few ive been in about 5 of them inside the store the majority of the customers look like a huge police lineup..
