Used to box and train for the Lodge? I knew he'd had about 150 fights as an amateur, or something. Never realised he'd boxed those names.

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
