Thanks Palooka.
But everybody are Intilted to there opinions, that's cool with me.
Ya I was too fit, for me own good.
Did not know, when to stop training, that caused my body to breakdown.
Ya I was very upset, when I had to retire, a lot of people don't know this,
Me and Frank Maloney had a chat about me fighting the great Arturo gatti r.i.p
If i successfully defended my title against charlie Shephard in our rematch.
I think, The Americans would have loved my style, well that's my opinion

Why did you have to retire? You were just 24 when you lost to Dibatza and just 27 when you had your final fight.
Hi Conan.
Hi Well I had to retire at 24, because of Heath reasons, just after my fight with Dibatza
And I was told, that's the end of my career, ya the worst time any fighter could go through
I would not wish on anybody..
But I always determined to get back into ring, so as my health slowly started to return back to almost normal, we had to give it another try..
My 2 fights that I had on my return, told me and my trainer, that's the end.
No offence to fellas I fought on my return, but I kinda struggled with them
and in my hay day, That would not happen..
My trainer and great friend, decided to retire from boxing, I knew it was my time to go, also.
