Regardless of his views on homosexuality and abortion.
Why Hoops?
Genuine question, as far as a sporting achievement, its right up there.
Not a particular great fight, but he won against a slow and aging champion, in a division which doesn't have too much quality.
But I'd be interested to know why you think this is a better achievement over others this last year?
I do agree with Tibsy, it should be based on just sporting achievement, rather than 'personality', but as such it is what it is, and the beeb probably have a lot of influence over it all.
And you know they love a yes man!
In all fairness he was a huge underdog. I didn't hear anybody saying Klitschko was past it before the bout.
Well i follow boxing fairly loosely but i didn't know what to think. I certainly saw improvement in him and mentioned it in here a couple of years back, but opinions were so split and his performance against Chisora wasn't overly impressive. Haye really didn't help at all and i don't blame them not wanting that fight now. It could have been a great fight now on reflection.Casual fans of course. But people who followed the sport said he had a good chance.

Just reading up on this. Am I missing something or does he actually say he wants pedophilia to be made legal??

Thats exactly what he said!
Then not only should he NOT be SPOTY he should be stripped of his title he just won
lol, of course he didnt say that. Why is everyone so keen to be offended.
I'm confused.
I'm confused.
He said that the devil will be summoned when paedophilia is legalised, completing the satanic trinity.
The other two aspects of the trinity have already been legalised – abortion and homosexuality.
Whats there to be confused about? He won his fight and deserves recognition!
