I've read Robbie Davies Jrs Dad was good, not seen him though.

Chris Eubank Jr is doing pretty well though he's not in the same class as his Dad.

Jr would do well to fight more often when all this shite is over , something you couldn't accuse his old fella of , even if was the bum a month tour .

Wasting his career .

Jim Spider Kelly and his son Billy Spider Kelly .

Jim won the British Featherweight title in 1938 , he was in his son Billy's corner when he won the same title in 1955 , it was also in the same venue.

Chris Eubank Jr is doing pretty well though he's not in the same class as his Dad.

Robbie Davies Senior was a real banger who made it to the 1976 Olympics where he scored one of the most spectacular knockouts of the entire event against an unfortunate Aussie by the name of Wayne Devlin, climbing of the deck to finish Devlin in the second round; however, he lost his next bout to a Venezuelan on a majority verdict. Robbie, the oldest member of the Olympic boxing team at 24, stuck around for another year in the amateurs and probably left it a bit late to turn pro and had the misfortune to meet Cardiff's vastly underrated Pat Thomas in a British title eliminator at light-middleweight in 1979 which essentially finished his career.
Coincidentally, Londoner Dave Odwell was mentioned yesterday as the only member of the Olympic team not to turn pro. Middleweight Dave, the team captain in Montreal, struggled for form leading up to the Games and really flopped in the ABA finals in 1976 against the Scot Eddie Burke, so he was a bit lucky to get selected. Odwell had won the first round against Burke at Wembley, lost the second and with everything to play for in the third, spent the entire round holding. However, his international experience got him to Montreal where he scraped through against a raw Moroccan, who had him down, and then took a pasting against a Yugoslav to lose on points. Dave seemed to have lost his drive.

The son was unbeaten at the time, top of the bill and his opponent didn't turn up, so his father stepped in to save the show.
