Re: Book on Henry Wharton
It's a shame he retired whilst preparing for his light-heavy debut v Clinton Woods. I imagine he would have been outpointed, but I remember looking fwd to the match up.

Re: Book on Henry Wharton
It's a shame you're wrong. It was Crawford Ashley... Clinton stepped in and won. And he'd already boxed at light heavy! It's a shame the knowledge on this forum is going down the pan...polecateddy wrote:It's a shame he retired whilst preparing for his light-heavy debut v Clinton Woods.

I do stand corrected. Perhaps Warton could have got to Ashley, but he'd have had to have been fit.mickey1975 wrote:It's a shame you're wrong. It was Crawford Ashley...

Re: Book on Henry Wharton
When was he not fit? You have no idea of the build up to the Ashley bout, they trained a few hundred yards apart. All of Leeds were talking about it for years. The grudge still goes on, on Crawfords side...polecateddy wrote:I do stand corrected.

Re: Book on Henry Wharton
I got the impression was losing interest, hence the retirement. I said fit because I suspect if he'd gone through with the fight he probably would have made a soft-looking light-heavy lacking a bit of fitness.

Re: Book on Henry Wharton
Is it on kindle? That really is the future. Paperback and especially hardback sales are through the floor generally.

I don't make any catty remarks, only facts, Henry is a close friend. It was well documented what happened in Florida.Taansend wrote:You can't leave us hanging like that.
