I know who he is, I have French fighters, unfortunately he is what he is, he was called "the journeyman" in the Amateurs in France, lost nearly all his fights, he is a nice fella, but a bit crazy and over rates himself everyone knows him in France, I wish him all the best in his quest.

Personally I would love to see him fight someone of a similar standard. Fucks me right off watching unbeaten against boxers with a 1-20 record

Sounds like a French Charlie Z. Don't sign him Johnny he'll be saying he's going to break Klikschko's jaw.

Johnny you have nothing to be sorry about you are telling it how it is unless you sell tickets no trainer manager or promotor will be interested and as for him looking to hook up with a top trainer/coach etc I have always held the view that the trainer is only as good as the boxer basically I think the kid is deluded coz it ain't going to happen

he fought a 1-6 guy and didn't do good. he also fought a debutant and didnt win a round.

i admire his desire to continue improving though, doesnt matter what level your at its nice to see the desire.

He's certainly not.

He has been in 19 legitimate fights. He is seeking self improvement, not a fight with Floyd Mayweather.

also , Johnny i wasn't having a dig at you, quite the opposite, it seemed people were jumping on you far to quickly considering his results thus far.... he may be better than they suggest but i would gather not.

Johnny hasn't insulted the fellow at all, the way I read the posts it seems as if the french fighter was hoping to join a top flight gym; surely it'd be easier to do that in his home country where he at least speaks and understands the language? It seems he imagines boxing is easier in Britain than in France? If I were the french fighter I'd consider Johnny's points which are realistic and if I still wanted an adventure I'd go to Sheffield to the Ingle gym; they have done wonders there with fighters without the best amateur records or pro starts; the cost of living is a fair bit cheaper than London as well. It's better that someone (Johnny Greaves) who understands the sport is honest about how things are, it's far better that than selling the fellow a lie or sugar coating the reality.

What I dont understand is why dont promoters take on guys that might not be ticket sellers to begin with but have talent and can become ticket sellers? Isnt it the job of a 'promoter' to try and make somebody a ticket seller. If not maybe they shouldnt be called promoters.

Also, how many tickets did Brook sell to begin with? He's always had talent but he didnt turn over with an outstanding amateur record. I know he won titles as a junior though.

It's just strange the lack of actual promoting that actually happens with a promoter.

I have been reading this thread and I don't think anything was said that was with any evil intentions at all and nothing to be apologetic for.
You have to call a spade a spade and when someone is involved in essentially what you are currently doing and you ask for advice, you must take that advice on board and process it as you see fit.
The truth hurts but it is fornicating mandatory for you to make the right decision, whether it is fornicate off you are talking bollocks or in this case, thanks for that it gives me a lot to consider I value your opinion ................... I will be pleased to pop down the gym to see you ........
Certainly doesn't help saying that a guy is a nut job ..........

Crackin me up that U can even mention this geezers name in same sentence as tysons but to insiuate there's a possibility he is the next one is ludicrus!! No offense to Jonny greaves its a name iv never heard but when u have had over 100 fights then tell him he ain't no Freddy roach roach wasn't a great pro but has learnt his trade I would consider it an honour to meet someone like Jonny but seriously other then to be polite why would he meet this fella its called realism!!!
Or maybee he's just average , but wants to learn and becomes a good asset to the gym ,, I did'nt read into his post anything except he wants to learn from a decent coach , and up to now he's not been told where to go . He's only been insulted with a offer thats then been rescinded , Publicly ,
