Tom Dallas

[lpc]

Once touted as a potential heavyweight champ, Tom Dallas is set to return to the ring in October...http://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/spor ... es-101215/

Maybe he could fight Joe Joyce next year. Earn him a few quid.

[rm1]

credit to him he keeps going.

[cocobongo]

Looked to have a decent skill set at one point lost his way a bit , didn't like seeing him get pummelled over the ropes by Skelton tho hopefully he doesn't get hurt if carries on!

[Coco]

Dallas is decent area title level and could earn as a stepping stone. However his lack of survival instincts means that he gets hurt when he steps up.

[SAPFO]

Poor man Price unfortunately, but useful no less.

[forcefraser]

I`ve seen Dallas take one too many a shellacking already.

Even Charles Martin turned him into a stiffened mute in the first round. If they keep feeding him to people far better than him, he might regret it one day.

[stujones]

Joyce needs to get a move on, I'd say Dallas vs Joyce THIS year - A good fight for Joyce's debut.

[handsofstone]

There was a few months window a few years ago when i thought Dallas might be the dark horse of the division,Price was getting all the publicity and Maloney was building the both of them up and a potential fight was on the cards in a while down the line,then Price had an opponent pull out(was it McDermott?) so Frank had to put both of them in together sooner than he wouldve liked and Price KO'd Dallas in about 2

But yeah i rated Dallas highly and thought he was title material,if only for a short while

[littlepug]

Dallas only just above novice level, anyone with half decent skills demolishes him every time, props for getting in there but never gonna be a happy ending for tom

[orbtastic]

The last time I saw him fight he was being mauled and draped over the ropes by Skelton whilst Maloney was shaking his head ruefully at ringside.

[Dixonian]

Pains me to say it, but the kids got no heart.

[lillywhite14]

It's not heart he is lacking, it's a relatively fragile confidence that was smashed to bits by Price. That and talent. He's area level champ material, which is nothing to be sniffed at. He can bang but he's literally too nice. He's as sound a bloke as you could ever meet.

He makes Price look ultra confident.

[littlepug]

Think his heart is ok but the ability just isn't there, saying that I like guys like Dallas , low skill level but still keep going trying to get better

[crusader]

Yesterday he got knocked out by a 2-6 opponent with no previous stoppages.....please retire Tom.

[rm1]

yup ko'd by a journeyman the only future for him is as a UK journeyman which would probably get him plenty of work but is he even good enough for that ?

[keithmoonhangover]

He was a lot better before the heavy losses. He needs to stop boxing now. There are easier ways to earn money.

The first thing a journeyman needs to do is survive/protect themselves. Tom is unable to do that so there is no career for him in the sport.
The thing with him is that he is a really top fella, too nice imo and in the ring just does not have that brutal spitefulness that is needed.

Maloney sacrificed him to Price, albeit he got paid well and since then it has been a downward spiral. His confidence is shot to bit. Would not surprise me too see him on the unlicensed circuit soon enough.

He obviously isn't durable enough even for that dangerous game a heavyweight journeyman would rather see him leave it

I'm sorry to be mean, but which 'genius' predicted he'd be heavyweight champ? Was it another mystic Kellie prediction?

[mickey1975]

Belshaw, Price, Big Larry, Dallas...All Kellie,

[boxingknockout]

Belshaw, Price, Big Larry, Dallas...All Kellie,

Thanks. Not a surprise. Kevin McBride too.... although in one of the least expected results ever he did stop Tyson (admitted Tyson prob didn't train.)

"danny hunt is the david beckham of boxing"

anyone remember that one from maloney?

Just read this from August. 'Stiffened mute' Made me chuckle.

Definitely. He can't get his gloves up in front of his face.
