John Murray's also a fan of the no head movement approach that tends to lead to wars...hurlock wrote:Jamie mkeever allway's made it hard no head movement!

I've been told he is a good joiner and may be a bit fed up of boxing. I know his brother was a very good fighter too but gave it up to make more money working.
He was flung in deep very early, like Kevin Anderson, who was also in many wars. Kevin's fight with Young Mutley was heavy going.
John Simpson has been in the most grueling fights for me n recent years. He was robbed so many times too. Tough man.
Yes his brother was David Appleby I think? Boxed boxed for Sparta ABC he fought my mate Daany Watson years ago in a humdinger of a fight in Edinburgh great to watch, Danny is on a comeback at the moment 3 fights 3 wins he will defo have some wars remember the name

Neville Brown. One guy that was in alot of entertaining wars, but is thought of as more of a boxer.
His run as British Supermiddle champion had some smashers against Grant, Colarusso, Cummins. Before giving Steve Collins all he could handle in a WBO title shot.

Don't forget the fights against Quinn, Cherifi & Catley.

Re: which british boxer has been in the most wars
Yeah Neville had some great fights win or lose. He had a nice style to watch and a punch. Plus he could get hurt or shaken in fights which just added to the excitement. His one against Cummins had a right atmosphere to it.
Re: which british boxer has been in the most wars
I think someone mentioned Ayers already, but Colin Dunne and Shea Neary had some exciting fights too.

Neville had a tear up recently with Clifton Mitchell in Derby - all in aid of a cause of course.
Top bloke Neville.

Re: which british boxer has been in the most wars
I keep seeing Clifton doing security of late (more so than usual), good to see him looking well.
Both of them were in the Ingle stable for a while, weren't they? I seem to remember Brown changing his shorts to a slightly flashier pair :)

Re: which british boxer has been in the most wars
charles sheppard was always in exciting fights
Re: which british boxer has been in the most wars
Yeah, he had that ridiculous fight with PJ Gallagher. He used to come in like Mike Tyson but unfortunately didn't have a great deal of power, decent guy to watch fight though, always had a great engine.
Re: which british boxer has been in the most wars
I used to do some vluntary work with a man from Burton and he knew Neville Brown for years and said he never mentioned that he was a boxer and never tried to be the 'big n' around anyone. He said he was a really decent man.Parson Cross wrote:Neville had a tear up recently with Clifton Mitchell in Derby - all in aid of a cause of course.

Technically you can only be British if you're from Britain and that's the island that comprises England, Scotland and Wales ... the UK is Britain plus Northern IrelandShadrachSimmo wrote:Northern Ireland still a part of the uk last I knew ;;-)Deserter wrote:Except Duddy and McCullough aren't BritishShadrachSimmo wrote:Simpson for me defo.

Re: which british boxer has been in the most wars
Anyone remember the johnny armour fights with ampofo (was it). Blinding trilogy.
Moorsey was all action, but wasnt really in that many wars to be honest. 4? Maybe 5. Just the fact when he was in one they were epic! Jones 3, Macklin!
