He was a skilful chap - used to enjoy watching him.

[Dan Dares]

A most skillfull fellow, unlucky in at least two of his fights i've seen.

[Tommy Gunn13]

He was such a slick Amatuer back in the day&done the UK proud beating the Yank.....
Top fighter if only he had a punch he would have gone places....

[floyd67]

Used to enjoy watching those silky skills. If only he a punch.

loved the skills off ian napa, adrian stone and james toney, all from the same mould. and that is some praise believe me!!

absolutely love the rolling on the ropes, the hiding behing the shoulder, the slick sharp counter punching with accurate shots delivered from about 6 inches.

[Counter-puncher]

i only saw him live twice, once the European loss which the guy was stylistically all wrong for hi. but the Gary Davies fight I was lucky to see the full range of his skills, i thought it a masterclass.
