    The Italian took the easy way out to jump on the hate train. Unlike other biological women who’ve fought her in the past and won she gave up.

    I can remember docking early in Pape'ete and going out onto the deck expecting palm trees and white beaches.
    Instead the port area was like calais complete with roundabouts, the standard french roadsigns, a couple of tabacs and a Super U supermarket.

    However, once you got away from there it was fantastic and exactly what you imagine it would be like. And the women...:emoticon-0115-inlov

    Look, it's a delicate subject and I don't think you're right, but neither am I totally. There's a fine balance between not discriminating against/punishing someone because they've got male genetic characteristics and then protecting the safety of women and their right to compete equally.

    If she has lost to five female boxers already, with the benefits of circa 30% higher short twitch muscle power, then maybe the genetic advantage is advancing her ahead of other women's ability. There will never be universal agreement on this.

    That’s just as a professional, she has over 50 amateur fights and has 5 knockouts. If shed lost like she has done a number of times already no one would’ve raised an eye lid or be calling her a man.

    Just walked in and heard Claire Balding describe Andy Murray as potentially the greatest British sports person of all time. Andy Murray!!

    He isn't even the best Sports man of all time from Scotland.

    Then that would be the greatest swimmer and the greatest runner.

    There's one of each.

    The greatest sportsman?

    Likewise, only one.
