For me, has to be Rhodes Vs Moore and Burns Vs Martinez.

Rhodes one was a shock for me too. One of my childhood faves so was good to see. Met him at Sheffield Ice Rink fireworks years ago, lovely chap, was with his daughters but still made time to talk to people and have a photo.

This. I was convinced Rhodes was finished and thought Moore would batter him.

I remember I went round Rhino’s house to watch Lewis v Rahman. I remember a couple of weeks before I was looking after Frank Maloney in London someone stopped Frank and I picked up on the following:

“Lenny is not going out to South Africa until the Monday, it should be a lot sooner than that so he can climitise”

“The training camp has been poor”

I didn’t think to tell Rhino until Lennox was sparked out, I then told Rhino who told me I was a **** for not telling him.

Another fight where I spoke to Clive Bernath, we were discussing klitschko v Sanders. Clive told me not to ignore him and that Corrie Sanders would definitely knock out Wladimir ..,. I told Clive to F off and stop being ridiculous.

Does the forum have stories they missed out on a fortune

Not on the scale of the shockwaves sent around the world when Douglas beat Tyson, but I was still very surprised both Evander & Danny stopped him.

Another one, not so well known, the first Dennis Berry vs Neil Sinclair fight. I'd never heard of Berry and he looked small next to Sinky. I didn't see Sinky coming up short that night, but he did.

Good call re. Dodson mate. Expected soooo much more if him. With the benefit of hindsight, Winky flew under the radar for way too long.
