Mendy really fell big time, he was representing people like Linford Christie and Nigel Benn. He was also agent to footballers, he was the one who got Paul Ince photographed in the Man Utd shirt before his move from West Ham.

I'd expect he's now doing nicely again though.

Also anyone know if he still holds the world record for eating 3 cream crackers in the fastest time?. I kid you not

Spud went along way to making it a decent forum IMO, but the move to UK Boxing Press turned out to be a mistake in hindsight. In saying that you wouldn't have had the pleasure of my razor-sharp insight if we hadn't have moved from BoxingTalk :D
Or your razor-sharp wit at times.

I only post on this one these days (its the best IMO), the other ones I can think of are the DogHouse, EastsideBoxing and I think there is still one on BoxingTalk as well. Larry Holmes used to have a forum that he regularly posted on (going back a year or 2)
Some of the lads on Current Scene said that DogHouse is really crap now?

-SUPERB NATURAL PUNCHING LEVERAGES, AND AN EXCELLENT BOB-AND-WEAVE (ON THE RARE OCCASIONS HE DECIDED TO ), HIS PROBLEM ALWAYS WAS HIS LACK OF CONCENTRATION, LACK OF FLUIDITY AND UNPREDICTABLE CHIN -THEY ALWAYS WERE THROUGHOUT HIS CARER
Good shout Crew2!! But thats what made Benn worth watching,Always edge of the seat!! :TU:
