That's exactly why they said it won't happen. They went as far as saying it won't happen in her lifetime or after it.Originally posted by Chris View PostMaybe you arent very close with your family then!
Bad things can happen in a boxing ring, they'd be insane for risking eachothers health.
It'd be utterly pointless, whatever the outcome it'd be met with cries of "it was fixed" "did they both give 100%" then you have to think of other stuff like does the mum really want her two sons fighting eachother?
Its a ****ing **** idea and they should never fight. Thankfully they wont.
Rightly so as well. Why should they fight each other just because no one else can touch them. It's a fight I'd love to see though.

Heavyweight Audley Harrison has decided to continue boxing despite his heavy defeat by David Haye in the world-title fight in Manchester on 13 November.
The 39-year-old was strongly criticised after being stopped in the third round having thrown only one punch.
"After spending some time away reflecting on the fight and outcome, I have made the decision to continue my journey in boxing," he said.
Harrison added that he believed the referee ended the fight prematurely.
The British Boxing Board of Control may yet decide to withhold part of of Harrison's purse after his lack of aggression against Haye in the MEN Arena.
But Harrison, a gold medallist at the 2000 Olympics, says there was a strategy behind his approach in the opening rounds of the WBA bout.
"Both styles of feinting and moving was off-setting the both of us in the first two rounds and I was just zoning in on his rhythm when he got through," said Harrison.
"I give David credit as I never expected him to hurt me as he did, but anyone could see it was a premature stoppage and I should have been allowed to carry on and ride out the rough patch, even if that meant I would have got knocked out."
Harrison believes criticism that Vitali Klitschko's one-sided win over Shannon Briggs in October had been allowed to go the distance may have prompted referee Luis Pabon to intervene too early.
"I was denied the opportunity to show my grit, determination and desire to be in there and compete and try to get back on level terms," added Harrison.
"Let the haters and negative comments continue - I don't really care. I know me and I can sleep at night as I'm happy with who I am today."


Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

After watching Haye get humiliated by Wlad and then act like a sore loser showing his toe off to anyone who would listen I decided to go back something I noticed last year...
Why didn't Haye receive any punishment for the 'fixing' of the Harrison fight. Don't know if anyone else saw the following but it's pretty conclusive evidence that Haye told his friends/family to put money on round 3.
Now to me Harrison was clearly in on it as well otherwise he wouldn't of thrown zero punches in the first two rounds. But even if he wasn't - Haye did nothing until round three so essentially it's still fixing whether Harrison was in on it or not.
To set the scene...this is an interview with Groves and Adam Booth straight after Grove's fight with Kenny Anderson (one of the undercard fights of Haye vs Harrison on 13th November). Haye's fight with Harrison hasn't happened yet. Listen to what Groves says (obviously is serious and isn't joking), skip to about 02:30
