I remember Barry Hearn saying Herbie Hide was going to be the greatest heavyweight who ever lived in an post fight interview, maybe he'd been on the Chablis, but it didn't quite work out.

I remember reading that Ricky Groves (Bulla) was a tidy boxer. Ray Winstone as well

I've read that about Winstone as well, every professional cockney claimed to be a junior champ!

I remember once before a fight in Basildon, I had some idiot telling me about his amateur career. Apparently he had boxed Kirkland Laing twice, he never laid a glove on him untill he knocked him cold each time with one shot in the last round!

Saying that Georgie Smith was fighting on the same show, he was hugely hyped by Hearns, but then that was Hearns way, same for the Delaney brothers.

Man - remember over on Dogghouse we were all aboard the Audley choo-choo hype train.

You were the driver, I was the stoker, Oli Fennell was the ticket conductor and Chambers was sat on his ass in First Class as it went right over the fornicating cliff with the rest of the Dogghouse forum laughing their heads off at us...

I remember it was us four - I bet no-one else will admit this horrible relevation now...

I watched that episode & I thought it was great.

I felt really sorry for Bentt; his father was an absolute bar steward.

Frank was always a good watch tho, never in a dull fight and didn't get to a bad level

I think I'm right, on points in the ABA finals, I think they had already engraved Youngs name on the trophy.
I could be wrong, I'll do a google!

I knew a guy who was friends with Steve Barnes and swore blind he was destined to be a world champion, as did Brendan judging by these words:

Yet he retired after losing to a journeyman in his fourth fight.
