There was a bit about Floyd in BN a few weeks ago, think he is trying to set up as an agent for east europeon boxers, he was in the Ukraine (if i remember correctly).

Hugh Forde had alot of skill, did look like he was going to be a bigger success, but his chin let him down in the bigger fights.

On the subject of Hugh Forde, he still lives around South Brum and works for one of the energy companies these days (at least he did last time I heard) along with doing a bit of DJing part time. Hughie was another fighter who came to boxing from a kickboxing background and he had, smooth, silky skills. A mate of mine used to work with him and he is one of the most genuine guys you could meet. A top fellar :TU:
