Think Craig Watson's retired, as said above Liam Smith's back out fighting the winner of Sykes-Kays on the Fury-Chisora II undercard and Ekundayo's daughter has cancer so he's taken some time out to look after her. Everything has gone very quiet with regards to Dignum, his twitter still says he's a professional boxer, but no mention of training or fighting since his last fight, not sure what's happening with Prince Arron, same with Phill Fury, Taylor's taking some time out, Roberts was due to fight in Liverpool last year, think it was on the Gavin-Vassell undercard, but time constraints meant the fight never happened, no idea what's happening with him now either.

Dont start me on Dirrell - such a talented guy but didnt have the heart for it. His hand speed and footspeed was right up there with the best of them. Funnily enough watched the Froch fight this morning and still can't see how Dirrel lost. He shots were razor sharp.

Shoulder problems I think, had a couple of operations. He did pop up on here a couple of months ago so he might be able to clear things up, but he is 100% retired, opened a gym in Chorley last year.

Back injuries seem to have done for him, been talk of various comebacks, but after 2 years out and at nearly 34, I can't see him returning unless he needs a payday.

Pirog is another disappointing one. Very good fighter and someone who I think could of given Golovkin a hard fight,

He ran too much, he was far too negative. Froch deserved the win.

Lazy to call good footwork running. Froch was plodding and hitting the air a lot.

I disagree, but this is off topic and we've done this before anyway.

The list goes on and on shame such wasted talent....
I think Frenkel had some sort of problems with depression I may be wrong but that's what I recall which is a shame as he would have been a fun challenger for Huck
I will add a name to the list
John Watson? Fought a spirited fight against Rees then lost to Crolla and Hamilton on a close decision in hindsight not the worst results in the world. Could make a go of it at 140
People talk about the Smith brothers but imagine if all the Quigleys had stayed fit and motivated both Tony and Nick had retired now I think with only John is the only one left but he has some good potential.
Kenny Anderson anyone?
