Is it just me, or is he turning into Shaun Ryder?

He has aged badly in the last 2 years - both in apparence and in the ring. Unsurprising though, still quite amazing that he is winning still. Hard to believe his final fight was at 9stone also.

Lucky the proposed fight with Vasquez vs the 122 belt never materialised last year.

His nephew is due to start boxing next month, so johnny will remain in boxing for the forseeable future. he also now has a book out called "crazy life" or something. It'll be an amazing read.

Father murdered before Birth, Mother kidnapped and later murdered (2 seperate occassions i think), bus crashed down a 100ft cliff during which the passenger sat next to him died but he survived, drugs overdose during which he nearly died, drug addiction during, a 19 year boxing career and multiple world titles....
