Rio Ferdinand

Anyone else looking forward to seeing him getting punched in the face?

38 years old and he reckons he can be a serious boxer that could chase a title....is he on crack?

He'll be at Cruiserweight I'd imagine, which means he'd be in with fighters who can really bang. The idea that he can just pick up a pair of gloves and learn the noble art to a point were he'd be a serious boxer is barking imo.

 

Well he's already been on performance enhancing drugs since at least 2003.

 

Might improve his looks though!.....

 

I agree. I think when footballers or even other sportsmen like flintoff do this it almost seems like it's on a whim because they are bored after stopping 'their' sport. It's a bit disrespectful to guys who have worked towards boxing all their lives thinking they can just pick up the gloves and get in the ring.
Having said that I can't stand boxing anyway, the way people latch on and pretend they like it when there's a big fight. I was in Vegas recently by chance when the Mayweather fight was on and was happier taking advantage of everything else being quiet!

 

Guy is a dick, hope he has to learn a harsh lesson.

 

Assuming he actually gets a licence (which is far from a given) they'll no doubt stick him in with a couple of fat old journeymen who he'll be able to see off.

However, if he persevered with this and ended up in the ring with even a half decent boxer, he'll get sparked.

 

What happened with his wife is sad but he messed about on her and shouldn't be treated as this wonderful husband. If I had acted like he had I'd want out of the media and wouldn't be looking to get myself on the tv so often. If he gets smashed by a decent boxer there is always the chance he could be hurt and where does that leave his kids?

 

Talking of **** boxers, I saw this and thought of Kowardly Kustard

@The Prime Minister

 

I'd pay good money to see camel chops get leathered

 

Apart from playing for Utd AND Leeds, what's he done wrong? Can think of many other players I'd like to see getting punched than Rio.

 

So would I. Arrogant ****.

 

Maybe a boxer with the nickname Choc Ice will be the one to spark him in his debut bout.

Stupid idea ... but then again, he's never struck me as being very bright ...

 

Tony Bellew laying him out would be funny tbf.

Not that he'll ever get within a country mile of that kind of level. I'd question what his motives were tbh

 

He won't get anywhere Tobes. Even a low level professional would beat him. No diving allowed in boxing.

 

Bellew and him at the Echo Arena, 20,000 scousers baying for Rio's blood.

 

Mayweather V Plug ?

 

He's too old...boxers are considering hanging up their gloves at his age and this muppet thinks hes going to take the ring by storm..stupid footballers.

 

Yep, he certainly ain't the brightest.

 

You would never get into the ring with me you cowardly bin dipper.
