I have a lot to thank the big man for..so thanks mate :TU:
Well I can't argue with that! How's it going Tony? Learnt a few lessons against McKenzie no doubt. Great comeback and bet you learnt more in that fight than all your fights put together?

I learnt tons in that fight your spot on, back to Terry, I feel given the right breaks we could see a new cruiser world champ ;)
Tony you big up all your mates(fighters) which is good to be loyal...By what makes you think Dunstan can win a world title now when he couldnt do it in his younger years when he was prob at his peak??

was he really!!

the Imamu Mayfield loss was a disapointed for me, i thought he had the beating of the american and the subsequent results from Mayfield make me feel that Terry should of beaten him.

oh well hindsight is a great thing.

I agree I do always swing on the friend side of things, I'm a bit of a loyalist on that side, however when it comes to Terry I just feel, he's big at the weight, he has not abused his body, he lives clean, he trains hard and he has so much natural and physical ability to go with all that I mentioned before, I give him a big chance against Huck and he is also very good with southpaws so Cunningham is not out of the question, I just feel Terry needs fights right now and come the end of this year I believe he can do what in my eyes he has always been destined to do.. The guy is the british B-Hop without the trash talk.. :TU:

Il have to disagree with you,i couldnt see him winning a world title not against any of the belts holders,theres a massive differance from the level hes boxing at now to the top level...he definitly needs to be more active,who promotes Terry?

I thought abusing his body was what landed him in all that trouble.You have to say his Prizefighter form does not look good for the future.The only thing he has got in common with Hopkins is the prison stretch,Bernard did his before he turned pro,Dunstan when he had arguably peaked.I know there is a lot of good will from a few on here but i just cant see him even challenging for the World title again,no chance.As someone mentioned earlier in the thread,he didnt have a great name before he got locked up and im all for people getting a second chance,but i think Dunstan has left it far too late.

I've already heard that people are talking Huck, to be honest I would back Terry against Fragomeni no problem, like I said it's activity he's lacking, believe me when I say guys. He has talent, tine will tell here, the next 12 months are vital if he is to achieve this.

I just hope someone gives him the chance he deserves, norton is a nightmare and could make world champions look bad BUT I still see Terry being too clever for him and stopping him somewhere around the 8-10 rounds..

Micky, Dunstan only had 16 amatuer Fights, Won the British in His 8th Fight. You should have been in the Gym, when they were pulling Lennox out, when getting a good hiding :OhYes: . He never reached His peak. Its just recently working with the MMA lads with Khalid, that He has come out of His comfort zone again. Plus losing in Prizefighter was a shock, after i told Him to pack it in, if He was playing at it. Then thinking about it and realising He had been sparring Rogan for the previuos 3 months, it wasnt the best preperation for Prizefighter at Cruiser. At the moment things are going well, we will see :DDD

Fair enough,Howard.I actually know a guy who trained at your gym for a while a long time ago and he spoke highly of Terry and i know he has been great sparring for some top heavies.But you cant get away from the fact he is in his forties now and messed up badly in Prizefighter when he had a golden opportunity to get back up there.There were even double page articles in the tabloids at that time documenting his 'colourful' life.A lot of people on here,me included,lost money on Terry that night.I was at the Mayfield fight and it was there for the taking for Terry that night,if he was out the night before,then he will regret that for the rest of his life.

You can tell if a boxer has the look of a pro, yes Okoth is far removed from his best days. But Simmons looked good i thought. Time will tell, looking at the schedule there is nothing about Simmons 2nd fight, i'd like to see him out again in the next couple of weeks
