how tough/good was frank maloney

Post by Bricks »

Frank has never really acted in a way to talk about his past as a boxer.but clearly looking st his nose and ears he did boxing at as one level.I'm rather ignorant about this.was he a pro or just an amateur and to what level. How many fights Tec?

No shame in that at all. Flint was a hard man and big puncher.

Frank should have chomped at the bit and turned pro. He would have been
odds on favourite to win the Southern Area flyweight title.

That hiding Maloney took off Jimmy Flint had long lasting effects.

He spells chin as chine, and in his election campaign in Barking, he spelt Britain as Britian. Lol

Frank is Dyslexic, he would be the first to admit that. Many politicians and mayors have great articulate brains, but the country and the cities are still in shit state!!
