    Had to do a double take to see who that lean machine was waving to me in SM Park ;)
    Best of luck in London - enjoy yourself but suffer a bit too!

    Well if that's the case I'll be

    A) Drinking somewhere else
    B) Taking inspiration of said clips and dishing out a couple of right hooks in an attempt to shut you up :)

    I reckon it'd take more than a right hook to shut that lad up, try a solid upper cut :)

    Actually, just thinking; with the hotel just across the road I could even pop over for the laptop. Makes for better viewing :)

    You would be doing well to find any "classic" Lennox Lewis clips....now Hagler, Sugar Ray even a bit of youthful Tyson could provide some classic clips worth watching;)

    Be careful meno. He already has an alibi with his double life as a westbury athlete for the weekend to get away with murder ;)

    Nope because he is a boring, **** fighter who only ever won world titles because it was an awful era for heavyweight boxing.

    Also him being a Canadian already makes him a douche

    Best of luck Niall!
    Due to your ninja style training I haven't a clue what sort of form you are really in.
    Lots of ambitious messages here telling you to go for it but can't help being a dissenter and suggesting a more conservative approach to the race if your training has not been so great in the past couple of months.
    I'd be more inclined to run it with a view to a great training run for a Summer of improvement that will lead to a surer sub 3 effort in Autumn.
    Also bear in mind that if you have a horror this weekend you'll probably not enjoy next week in Boston nearly as much!
    Anyways, if you do go for it then best of luck!

    I liked Lewis, but would have liked to see Bowe fight him as a professional. Focused, fully fit Bowe gives Lewis serious problems IMO. Pity to see the way things have worked out for Bowe.

    The truth is Bowe was afraid to fight him after the beating he took at the olympics

    Sure am :) It's going to be more of a drunken stroll than a run but I will enjoy it :D
