Ive seen Coletti, the guy who beat Walker stand Him on His Head in sparring. Henry was trying all sorts of naughtys, and had the right hump all week. Ive never found Him a pleasant type to be Honest. Its funny what the press create, one guy who never got good press was Brian London. Yet everytime Ive met Him comes over as a real Gentleman.

Thats an interesting perspective and yes, it does highlight the way the media can build up someone.

I personally remember him for the Brut adverts, then again Im only 162 so he was before my time.

Absolutely loved it.
Humming the theme tune right now.
Yes i remember this also. Did any of the kids that boxed on this show go on to make a name for themselves in the ring, amatuer or pro ?
Cant remember the theme tune though!
