A handful of club-level amateur bouts, inactive for 10 years, a bit out of condition and with no actual ambition to box competitively, but who still knows the basics and could do 4 rounds with a bit of cardio training.
My point is, the above standard of fighter should have no business beating an experienced pro like Buckley, but is he so pre-conditioned to losing/surviving now that pretty much anybody with the basics could turn up a get a W PTS 4 over him? My point is not wondering if Buckley is better than this kind of boxer (he is), but at this stage would he even realise he had a beatable opponent in front of him?
Pete Buckley would probably knock you out. No offence but he would, quite easily.

No offence taken - it's not as if I'm actually seeking to do it!
Also, by my topic, I mean no disrespect to Buckley. As a fan, I don't particularly care for contests when I KNOW, barring divine intervention, it will end in a 40-36 scoreline and NOTHING ELSE. But having said that, he has, of course, given the sport a huge service over the years and I'd be a fool not to give him the respect that deserves. I just wondered if these days he would actually TRY to win a fight if he realised it was there for him.
