he has mixed it with:

Mick Hennessy

Dennis Hobson

He KO'd Victor Baranov

He got KO'd by that crap heavyweight who is now in prison, his name escapes me...

he had an arguament with Mike Tyson

he had a letter from FW's solicitor

not a bad list eh...

- sh*t stirrer!!!

The fight with Hennessy lasted 3 rounds - I dispute the decision to this day.

The fight with Dennis is on facebook - took a bit of a battering really - everyone got a sly dig in here and there who were standing ringside including Mr Hatton.

I completely refute the allegation Mr King sparked me - didn't even knock me down - but did have a cut lip.

Incidentally after winding up Mr Tyson - he refused to sign anything for me and told me he was busy then he went on to sign a couple of things for other people - w*nker!!

As for the letter from a certain promoter - sh*t myself initially until I went in front of the Commander who was a Colonel (right character) - his reply to the letter was quite amusing - he actually asked me what he should write!!!

you know, if he hadn't have fought all of the heavyweight from his ear, he may never have gotten some of it chewed off.

lol true

And how are Bruno and Mccall just contendors when they became champ?

Hopkins last five have been ridiculous. Taylor, Tarver, Wright, Calzaghe and Pavlik.

That is a who's who and in five straight fights.

For a British level fighter with ambition - like Paul Lloyd - Bruce Scott fought some good names. What about Crawford Ashley.... Nunn, Hill, Rochigiani, Woods, Nelson, Thompson, Andries all world champions.

Piper, Klemesten, Siluvangi, Rothmann, Davis - other decent names slightly lower than these also.

Dennis Andries didn't fight many TBC's

Thomas Hearns
Bobby Czyz
Jeff Harding every three weeks
Crawford Ashley
Johnny Nelson
Tony Sibson

Great example. For someone who doesn't get much press or praise, that is an incredible roll call. Never put up a bad show either (that I saw, I haven't seen the Klementsen fight)

We'll have to take your word for it since unfortunately the camera didn't follow up, but from the excerpt I did see, you got blasted clean out of the frame, horizontally, in a nanosecond. It was so fast it was almost subliminal. If you stood up to that, then fair play, but again - we'll just have to take your word for it.

Well, I think the point is nobody is saying the lack of a Bruno or McCall in Holyfield's legacy detracts from his legacy. He didn't fight Botha or Seldon, either.

chavez i cant put a link to his record because im on my phone but its impressive

Indeed.

Not to mention that it's at a just as ridiculous age!

I tell you what, Carl Froch will have a hell of a resume after the tournament. Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Abraham, Kessler all back to back, then possibly a semi and a final
