You'd be ok Johnny... You'd probably lose on points!

Well said Johnny Greaves you are correct 2 nice men from British Boxing, I get on well with them both & they always have time to speak to people at Boxing shows

Not meaning to be horrible, but a mickey cantwell autobiography??!

Surely that would sell less than 1,000 copies, even amongst the hardcore, unless it has some controversial revelations

i brought my first pair of gloves off of mickey he was working at a lonsdale shop in south london if i remember right , he seemed like a good guy .

I've known Mickey for many years and very sure his book will be a good read as been involved with Boxing for a very long time and will have some good story's to tell.

Paul Eeeyarghhhhhh!

Sorry John but it was a classic!

There's a lot Mickey is involved in boxing outside the ropes which is intresting & his Aba titles were the good old days when sponsored by wimpey.
His battles with the legendary baby jake who recently passed.

Former British Fly Weight Champ
Challenged for Euro & World Titles & has been around some of the most influential people in boxing doing his thing so very sure his book will be a good read.

I'm not saying he hasn't achieved anything or had an interesting life (and acting in Snatch) but boxing is a niche sport anyway and Cantwell is hardly a big name. I'm just saying its a hard sell.

If its well written and interesting the hardcore boxing fan may buy it, and I would, but beyond that?

Mickey Cantwell worked at Richard Atkins shop in Bermondsay, Munich 72 Title, alongside Jeff Dobson,

Carl Fraaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!!
