Is Jane Couch Britian's best-ever female boxer?

[Adamj1987]

Also Jane hasn't got polished airs and graces etc which as a woman makes you look far worse

This is so true. I interviewed her about 15 years ago and she was really nice, but just a real 'salt of the earth' type. Didn't take herself too seriously and was genuinely committed to her boxing career.
I remember one classic anecdote she told me about where she got involved in a fight in a pub in Fleetwood (where she was brought up) and a fella headbutted her... and only succeeded in knocking himself out

she still lives in fleetwood thats how ive met her

She was living in Bristol when I met her and training with Tex Woodward.

Sorry fella, wasn't doubting you - was just explaining why I'd said that she grew up in Fleetwood i.e. at the time I met her she'd moved down to Bristol. As I've said, that was 15 years ago, so don't doubt for a second that she's moved back in the interim

jane is a great laff, known her years filmed a few of her fights, no woman uk wise would get near to what she achieved

Jane actually frightened me when i saw her on TV, but in real life at a few Hatton do's she's been a really nice person, very warm and outgoing.

Jane and Nick Hodges run Blackeye promotions, which have been taken on as a part of the Hatton consortium, essentially they are both working closely with Hatton

[nicnut]

Jane lives in bristol and rents a place of tex. With regards to hatton it is him who phones at 2am
from luton and gets jane to rush over and babysit, this happens plenty. I would certainly have her on my side in any sort of a fight. Her boxers get well looked after often she go's without so they don't. As a small hall promoter she works harder than most, she has a show on 4th october
All this and she is facing major surgery. But still this tough old bitch has a smile on her face.

[Grilling Machine]

She's a very hard trainer according to a mate; he wasn't her greatest fan . I've seen her hugging people at shows, though.

Nice response Jane, I do remember one occasion when you were on ythe Trisha show and there was a women bouncer on it, you didn't seem to like her and it was obvious you wanted to whack her to show heher you were tougher than her, maybe i'm wrong but that was how it seemd.

Jane,
What did you think of Cathy Brown ?
Was she any good ?

Yeah nice one Jane

[taffytoon]

I have to add my 2p's worth to this.

I have been in and around boxing for nearly 25 years, I know 95% of the promoters and most trainers. I have worked many many shows and I have to admit Jane is in my top 5 of the promoters in the Country. She has a passion for her fighters that is rarely seen as anyone who has been to one of her shows will know SHE FIGHTS EVERY ROUND with her fighters offen being told off by officials for being to loud .

As a person what you see is what you get, she makes time for everyone and tries in my opinion to hard to please them all. The relationship she has with Hatton is very genuine and believe me she is NOT like a fly around Shite I once shared a lift with her a Ricky and they had me in Stiches, that said someone let one off and it brought tears to my eyes I still think it was Jane but she blamed some big bloke in black

The one thing she is crap at is Karaoke DO NOT LET HER SING....

[ERIC GUY]

Jane is the nuts... you have to meet her to know she is genuine, saw her sat night in Brentwood....
