Matt Skelton become British and Commonwealth champ and also fought for a world title and he was ( at least ) 35 when he turned pro!

How come he hasn't been more active? At 40 I would have thought he would want to earn a bit of money while he can and after spending so long in the amateurs, would want to keep active as well.slapbangwhallop wrote:Stephen 'Block' Reynolds.
