Fed to the wolves at times by FW, fought regularly above his optimum weight and had classic dust-ups with several good fighters.

I think with more care and obviously more dedication from Pryce he could have been European Champion.

could have???????im not finished yet,lol.going back to light-middle to make a impact

You're going up and down like a whores drawers.

Lose at LM and you'll say you're going back down to WW again.

thanks for the mention. Covenny is good. Spar with him and he's a good lad.

Gary Reid is the name that always leaps to my mind when I think about this.

Youssef Al Hamidi leaps to mine. 8-30-2

Simpson was the first fighter I thought of when I saw this thread. Has had a few dodgy decisions go against him in his time, but is a quality fighter

Rocky was a good fighter, always entertainment

Boxers like Lou Gent, Michael Sprott, Hussain Osman and Sven Hamer spring to mind. They had alot of losses on their records, but if their opponent puts a foot wrong then it can be goodnight for them.

He was the one that immediately sprung to mine.

Who was that Mcafferty bloke from Kettering who fought a load of our top HWs?? Don't remember him winning (m)any matches, but always put on a good perfoemance and rarely got stopped.





Just looked him up Derek McCafferty 2(1)-17(5)-1

Damn im ashamed, fom the same town and dont even know the guy

and its not even a big town, thanks for the heads up on that record!!!

the hunt is on!

Yes, as someone has mentioned, Johnny Greaves is far better than his record. On one of his rare wins he was moving back onto the ropes and pulled out a cracker of a punch to score a KO, he didn't intend to ko the bloke and it p*ssed him off because that was the longest he didn't get work after that! He more than holds his own in sparring with top prospects and championship fighters and you get the feeling that in some of his fights if he turned it on a little he would walk away with more wins, but of course he wouldn't get the work and bills need paying.

i always said that if he wanted he could win a british title at super feather he was good enough

I'll be honest. I've never really took the game serious enough . That's a big regret. That said I earn well doing as I am. But I do realise that these lads are at times beatable , but up to my last fight I've enjoyed being the clown and taking the lads all the way . I love my job Simplest
