the jones fight he met a guy waaay superior and one of the greatest boxers of all time in his prime.

Clinton put together a great reign as light heavyweight champ. I absolutely loved watching his fights during this time. He was a master craftsman who u feared for but somehow he always had that little extra skill or power. To hang tough with johnson for 3 fights is a tremendous show. Altho i had it 2-1 to johnson, clinton did seem to hurt and floor him in the first fight.

The tarver fight was a huge huge disapointment and badly stains woods record as clinton for whatever reason didnt turn up at all that night in a fight he could have won if he had shown up.

But real british hero of the ring and one of my favourites.

Did very well indeed - incredible heart and chin, made the most of his talent, a role model.

You gotta like Clint - a true people's champ. Although that tepid performance against Image will never sit well with me.
