Best amateur not to do it?
Might be harsh this.
I’m going Errol Christie. Really liked him (always did). Just think he might have gone too early

Re: Best amateur not to do it?
do we mean not turn over or not live up to it as a pro. Have to mention Frankie Gavin if the latter. And Audley.

Lovely to know Sean.SeanBrennan wrote: ↑15 Mar 2024, 17:34seemed a lovely man and one taken far too young. His nephew is a lovely lad too, met him once in Scunthorpe as he is a footballer and plays for Hull and they stay at the Hilton near Scunny, credit to Errol.
Errol was awesome. So nice he has a proper legacy.

George Collins
Re: Best amateur not to do it?
David Reid looked set to be a long term superstar but was undone by eye problems
Re: Best amateur not to do it?
Mathew Ellis was a very good amateur.
Re: Best amateur not to do it?
George Collins who had about 9 fights in one year.
He was rushed very badly, who was his handler?
Re: Best amateur not to do it?
I was a bit disappointed for Frankie falling short as a pro but his destiny was in his own hands imo. Not sure he was dedicated enough, though. Audley completely mishandled his own career and completely misjudged the enormity of the task ahead. I also think he was a bit delusional about his own ability. I think he achieved the maximum his ability allowed.SeanBrennan wrote: ↑15 Mar 2024, 17:15 do we mean not turn over or not live up to it as a pro. Have to mention Frankie Gavin if the latter.
