The twins? Rhydian and Steffan Hughes? They had a lot of ability....Wales wrote:Retired as far as im aware, beat Jim Rock didnt he... or did he lose? There was a documentry about him a couple of years ago, he did 90% of his training on his own (self-trained) in a barn on his farm! Only about 10% was done ina proper pro gym.
There are two identical twins form up the valley, Llanrwst and beyond way, who were multiple schoolboy ABA champions. One has turned to EBF, the other to cage fighting now. They could've been very very solid pro's with the right opportunity and guidance. Steve Schofield from Rhyl, Luke Bannister from Colwyn Bay, Dan Hogan form Llandudno, Lee Quinn from Colwyn bay can all, or could all, be decent enough pros, win more than lose. The pick of them will probably be 16year old Dan Hogan who currently trains with the Welsh under 18 squad and whos father runs Llandudno ABA. Lee Quinn is a waba champion. I think Schofield has gone to EBF, and Bannister works on the roads but still does a bit of Amateur stuff.
Martin knows more about the amateur scene than I do. Theres also a lad in prestatyn who looked the dogs baleros when he trained with us, he was something like 67-5 amateur record and had won a couple of national titles along the way. Forget his name though.
Bannister would make a great pro - has a huge punch and skills - but I think he's been in and out of the game over the last two years for personal reasons
