Leon and Michael were good

Some of the stories about Leon Spinks were quite funny. Staying out all night drinking the night before a fight, losing his teeth. There are some funny things about him. All in a good way as he was just too laid back and daft

Bowe v Dokes
Bowe v Ferguson

Just about to write these three then, especially Bowe, calling these defences, Dokes and ferguson to avoid Lenny the Lion

About time he was released, I hate drugs but he was stitched up here, hope he leads a great life and I wish him well, he was a great boxer too.

Can't remember the pub I used to go to in Chiswick but he went there a lot was a good boxer Ayers and had some great fights

I think it is more of an age thing, and what i used to read when i bought it religiously from the mid 80's though all the 90's. For instance I would never then have read the 'Old Timers' section. But now I would. I buy it 5-6 time a year usually when I am traveling abroad with work, I am going to lo...

There has been a few occasions for me when I question liking or watching boxing again For me the Owen tragedy was a terrible time for boxing and his family. I remember the Mark Goult fight and the Steve Watt But the biggest was the Watson fight for me it really did put the question when I saw fighte...

Couple more unless they already been said

Dean Francis
Anthony Mundine

Wally Swift jr?
or achieved the same level?

He's a good talented, skilled boxer. But his heart really didn't seem to be in it against Whyte, he consistently failed to press any advantage, and gave away far too much, and from his engine I have doubts his heart was in his training. I was routing for Parker, and at first some of the dirtiness a...

Great shout, that was a great fight
Watson. Benn my favorite that had everything in it

Have to agree with everyone Holmes was one of the best of all time and would have hammered Bruno quite easy I think, Homes was very quick, and a great chin, and I suspect would have beaten Big Frank in about 6 or 7 rounds.

On Fury's showing on Saturday Bellew would have beaten him,

Fury looked like a novice and like he had never really done much boxing before, looked nothing like a former World Champion.

Fury is going to have to get really serious if he wants to be champion again, and beat Joshua

Can't believe he is still boxing, I rememeber him from years ago, there was some interview with him and his manager saying he would become the first billionaire athlete and would take over Lennox He looked good in his first few fights then looked like he stopped training the James bond suit when he...

Reports that Spike O'Sullivan rejected an offer to take on GGG on May 5th. Spike is fight fit and is on an undercard fight the day before on ESPN. So the chances of a win against GGG were short, very short. But the payday must of been quite a bit more than an undercard fight. Spike's not even got a...

Signing with Warren is a good move

Could be right I remember something like that happening. Might not be Paul Jones after all

Could be Pyatt or thinking it could be Paul Jones You're right, Espada, It's Paul Jones. Great knowledge. I thought Pyatt because of the Leicestershire connection. but then rememeber around 95 I met Paul Jones in Sheffield and he had just defended intercontinental and the won world belt in a short ...
