No, not like Haye and Klitschko at all. In fact the entire opposite end of the spectrum.
Haye made a bit of a fool of himself that night but he is still world class. Flintoff was slapping rather than punching ffs

I guess it doesn't matter how you punch considering he won the fight.

Can't believe people are knocking Flintoff. The guy has huge balls imo.

I thought Corsa_Sport21 was talking about the Tyson Fury fight being a bit comedy.
I agree with what u say about Flintoff.

It doesn't matter how you punch when you're in the ring with an obese American in the same ring for a pay cheque, I agree. He was also put on his arse for an 8 count whilst the other guy was cuddled for 8 minutes.
Fair play to him, he clearly worked his socks off but the entire circus show reflected poorly on both boxing and the McGuigan family.

I cant see how it reflected badly on boxing.
Probably opened up boxing to a new audience too so if anything it could be a good thing.

They gave a licence to a retired cricketer, with physical problems, after 4 months training.

Ah right. I would like to think that they wouldn't have taken the decision to grant him a licence lightly. The fact that they denied him one first and told him to go back for a second assessment suggests that!

Having watched the first 2 docs about it I'm impressed with Flintoff. Wasn't messing about was he!
Loved it when he rocked that guy.
And the BBBC wouldn't have given him a license unless he met all criteria. They can't risk it. If he got in the ring and was vegetabled, then it was found they'd cowboy'd his license shit would hit the fan.
