If i remember the lad had 1 fight , in South Africa for some reason, looked awful and scrapped a draw.

Last i heard he was inside for being a nasty piece of work

He wanted to be a gangster, not a boxer

i remember reading something about that, brendan saying he would be better than naz and the next big thing, funny enough i was asking someone about it not so long ago and was told it would of been kell brook. you hear stuff like that all the time off the ingles !

Yeah thanks Terry and Asterix , was driving me mad.

yes

in regard to the previous posts I am glad you brought the subject up regarding the Brendan Ingle proteges

When I was growing up as a teenager in the 1990's I was all into Naz and read all the books

I always wondered what had happened to them kids tipped to be "even better than Naz"

the thing is with prospects like that - there are probaly loads of them over the years who never came to nothing

there probaly are loads of young kids just as talented as Naz

but the likes of Naz are one in a million becauze someone like Naz didnt just have the talent - he had the confidence - belief - focus - dedication - sacarfice - etc etc

I think being a Muslim helped Naz live a clean life and stay on the clean path as a young man

when a young kid turns to boxing - he may have bags of talent - but as he gets older and develops into a young man - other thing become more important - like - boozing - smoking - drugs - girls - clubbing - lads holidays - etc etc

dendicating your life to boxing aint so important then

being talented is nothing really - everyone has some degree of talent

but only a very few truely go on and commit their lifes to be as a successful a boxer as Prince Naseem Hamed

kell brook perhaps is one of those tipped when he was a kid to be as good as naz. he is very promising though the opponents haven't been up to much of recent
