For a guy who turned pro in his 30s with no am fights I think he did alright for himself as it goes...

How about Sot Chitlada, Khaosai Galaxy or Samart Payakarun then? Are those fighters more acceptable to your exacting standards??...

Skeltons fighting style was basically lean on a guy until he was completely worn out and maul him to death

Still for my money Skelton had a fantastic career for someone who took up the sport so late in life..

We will have to agree to disagree on this point I reckon :TU:
