I know he’s probably not in the best shape it would be good to check in on him.

And yeah, so surprising no book has been written about him as far as I know…came over from Jamaica as a kid ..settled in Bermondsey…?

Then he goes life and death with the Argie bloke Jorge Vaca.

Blew hot and cold, but what a talent.

Wish him the best recovery. British legend

I thought Vaca was Mexican. Or am I thinking of someone else?

I remember the first Honeygun fight, Lloyd was on a roll, was expected to win well but his hand went. Then Vaca got cut, went to the scorecards, and the Mexican won a tight one.
Lloyd graciously said that the Mexican had won.
Come the rematch, the Ragamuffin was back to his normal self and blew Jorge away

I do not know how long Honeyghun would have lasted in the rematch with his approach. It was a bit kamikaze - he certainly went for the KO and fair play it paid off.

The first fight with Vaca was very very close. First few views and live - I thought the right man got his hand raised (albeit very controversially on the stoppage etc), more I watched it the more and more I think it could have been a draw or Honeyghan knicked it.

Those were the days - loved Honeyghan nights on the BBC.

I think you're right about the rematch, I thought at the time it was do or die for Honeyghan in that 3rd round.
For me he was never the same sharp boxer puncher after the first match.

He was Mexican, my mistake.

He had the look of a rugged Argie. All pock marked and semi mulleted.

Rough piece of work

I shagged a few birds who could be described in that way.
