Ian Napa....The diminutive stylist split opinion amongst fight fans but i enjoyed his work. Saw him win the British
at Wigan and he ended up with the Lonsdale outright i think.

Takaloo? Did this crowd pleaser win it? Complete opposite style of Napa, made him a telly favourite.

Ajose Alosegun.
Blimey! I used to love watching Napa and that cross arm defence. I thought he was a slick operator. Remember seeing him lose to ‘2 Smooth’ at York Hall. Wasn’t big enough.

Takaloo never fought for it. He wanted to, but couldn’t get a passport.
:TU: Saw Takaloo get starched by Alexander. Only went to the fight because of what i'd seen of him on the box.

A bigger version of Napa would've been something else. Still wouldn't have had any power, mind.
That is probably the most ferocious knockout I’ve seen.

Was it Shinny who was the last victim of that old headbutt rule?
