Never realised he'd boxed those names.stevedoc wrote:I got talking to a guy Roy Connors and he boxed and beat Nigel Benn,Michael Watson and the Canadian superstar at the time Sean O Sullivan not a bad list he lived on the same street as me when he was a kid

Re: Pros that you faced as an amateur
I know a guy that fought winky Wright in the amateurs and fought Kostya Tyzu as well- although in his words he never "fought" Kostya TysZu he "shared a ring"! Says he got leathered from start to finish.
I've fought a few that went pro but nothing remarkable and a few that will probably turn pro in the near future. Sparred with some welliah known names but that's not the title of the thread
