TerribleTerry wrote:As far as heavies go, I can only think of Noel Quarless who was a decent scouse heavy in his day. Lennox smashed him on his way up, but there is no shame in that!
He had a great result beating Big John Tate in the now deceased ex champs last fight and also beat Anders Eklund early in his career.
He got as far as final eliminators for the British crown but couldnt make the final push to title shots.
Didn't Noel Quarless go into promoting/managing for a while? Or is the 6 pints of Cider I have inside me playing tricks with my mind?
Champs from Liverpool

Dunno about British, but Shea Neary was a "World" WBU Light Welter
Champion. He only lost to Micky Ward and a robbery VS Eamonn Mc'Gee.
