BoxRec

Ive not got much to say myself, to my knowledge i only boxed one who turned pro, in my first amateur and lost KO1 vs Curtis Valentine.

Although im sure there will be some on here who have some good names on their resume...

Valentine is a big puncher, no disgrace losing to him

Got 2 cuz who boxed am one went pro the other didn't. He one that didn't had fought kev Mitchell Martin gethin Don broadhurst a kid Called nick Mcdonald who had a few pro fights all in the ams. Theirs a couple more but not sure who.

I remember Nick McDonald, he was really good - I thought he'd do well as a pro, didn't he have had hands?

There was a poster on here who'd seen Curtis Valentine box as an amateur and he said he'd scored some really big knockouts - he wasn't surprised at the Aston win.

As far as I know Valentine had somewhere in the region of 30 amateur bouts. 25 wins with 23 of those by way of knockout. I may got the figures a little wrong and I'll ask him next time I see him but those numbers are not far out.

I got done in a round by Colin Derrick, bodyshot that still hurt a month later.

Never, to my knowledge. But sparred with quite a few. One of my clubmates/ friends boxed Anyhony Joshua twice though.

Can't remember many names. Jamie McLevy I'm sure as a schoolboy. Mate of mine fought Craig McEwan as a senior am and Ricky Burns as a junior am. Probably more but they names stick out.

Micheal Lomax, Wayne Pinder, Jamie Moore, Danny Reynolds, Damien Brown, Anthony Hallett,

That's some going

I boxed nigel Wright in the north east counties abas.He just boxed with my stable mate for England at Kulala lumpur. He was red hot I think he went on to win double aba championship. Mally Maciver from Yorkshire in the Yorkshire aba final. He won central area belt. The reverse to the question I boxed Frankie Gavin as a pro who was an outstanding amateur.

Nigel Wright was a good fighter, why did he retire? He seemed to hit hard with every punch and was very well balanced, he knew how to box alright.

Yeah very well schooled he seemed to glide in and out as an amateur very good foot work. He finished on medical grounds just before fighting for the British title

cheers that's a shame, must be gutting for a fighter.

I got talking to a guy Roy Connors and he boxed and beat Nigel Benn,Michael Watson and the Canadian superstar at the time Sean O Sullivan not a bad list he lived on the same street as me when he was a kid

Roy is modest and was a fantastic boxer too

Noel Wilder's, alex moon, adey Lewis and Dave Coldwell, think a few more went pro but can't remember names

i only met him about 2 years back i was blown away speaking to him he said he went around 100 fights unbeaten .amazing

Me mates dad beat Kirkland laing and theres a bloke in my local that beat Glenn mcrory as a schoolboy, apparently his daughters got in touch with mcrory and he rang the bloke up on his 50th birthday to wish him well and had a chat which I thought was a nice touch

Yeah... He's very modest with his achievements bizarrely. I introduced a non-boxing person to him and mentioned the Benn and Watson win and he made a joke about me getting their names wrong. Great fighter, jacked it in young

Wakened din, paul gidney - sure there'll be more just can't think
