Bloody hell did some boxing judges actually just score a fight correctly!? Thought them days were long gone!
See the difference in body shape between the two? Takam was a ball of muscle around the shoulders and upper arm, while Parker looked like a big kid. If he's not on the drugs, he needs to be. 
No mate I thought judges got it bang on, I was trying to be sarcastic given the amount of **** scoring there has been recently
That was embarrassing. How did they manage to get that guy a 29-0 record. Haye had a harder workout against Jack Whitehall in League of Their Own a few years back. Freddie Flintoff could have nailed that oppo. Piss poor.
Absolutely embarrassing Haye celebrating that. Reckons yer man 'had a good chin' lol But hey, lets not forget, this crap is on Dave 'the home of witty banter' so Haye is fitting right in with that tripe he's coming out with. Joker
The Cobra's good chin . He went down from flicked out left jab for christ's sake. Didn't see the Briggs fight.
. He went down from flicked out left jab for christ's sake. Didn't see the Briggs fight.Haye looks great against paper records and smaller heavyweights.
The minute people throw back at him he ****s it because he hasn't got the chin. Haye has the power and speed to be a good heavy but he absolutely **** himself against a Klitschko jab and ran for 12 rounds. Against Joshua he'd have to throw leather early and catch Ant without being hit back- it's possible but risky.
But that's the heavyweight division. All the greats were knocked out once.

I think it would be wrong to claim Ali got knocked out. Have a read of this:
"Younger, stronger, and in his prime, the 31 year old Larry Holmes (35-0), the WBC Heavyweight Champion, was matched up against an old, shopwarn Muhammad Ali (56-4) who was likely in the early stages of Parkinson's Disease, a disorder of the brain that slows one's reflexes and eventually leads to shaking (tremors) and difficulty with walking, movement, and coordination.
Unbeknownst to many, three months before the fight, Ali was ordered by the Nevada Athletic Commission to visit the Mayo Clinic for a neurological exam. The results exam were not made public at the time but contained the following results (source:BoxRec):
In an absolutely disgusting bout, the 31 year old champion dismantled the 38 year old legend in 10 rounds of a scheduled 15 round bout. There were no knockdowns, but Holmes dominated the fight and was given every round by all three judges. Finally, Ali's corner stopped the fight after the tenth round.
The TKO marked the first and only time Ali was stopped inside the distance in his 61 fight pro career".

- Muhammad Ali was a little off when he tried to touch his finger to his nose.
- He had trouble coordinating his speech, and
- The fight legend couldn't hop on one foot well.
