Indian Summers.....

Post by Stuarty »

I'm sure i've done this thread before but hey ho :maybe:

I really enjoyed Ryan Rhodes getting on with his career and tearing sh1t up! I was literally a fan of him when i was a little boy of about 9/10! To be a fan later after he'd sorted stuff and i was an adult was pretty special! :TU:

Calzaghe was always good but he seemed to keep the good results for when he was on one :maybe:

Dennis Andries going to the Kronk at 67 years old...

In retrospect - Pat Cowdell schooling Najib Daho to regian the British super feather weight title.

Neville Meade winning the British title at nearly 40 by chinning Gordon Ferris in a round.

Foremans got to be the main one.
I thought Mannys rolled back the years a bit as well

Not sure if we can include Moruti Mthalane or not, but I'll drop his name... After the whole "I'm not going to Thailand for that much money" he has rebuilt and had a fine run

Jean Pascal, was getting involved in novelty fights vs hockey players, people were bashing Bivol for fighting him and were saying he's shot, but then he beats Browne and Jack

Anthony Crolla and Derry Mathews both had success late in their careers that you’d have not expected when you saw their earlier performances.

I thought Derry was done for after losing 4 out of 5 fights in an 18 month spell in 2008-09. Amazing that he managed to kickstart his career again.

Kirkland Laing's blowout win for the European title at 36 was a great end-of-career touch

Derry was a 9 lives fighter for sure

Got a lovely head of hair as a reward for it too :yay:

+1. Particularly after an ABA title at the age of 17.

That's a really good call. After he was stopped by Herol Graham for the British middleweight title, he was 12-8, with his only big win a shock 8-round decision over Michael Watson - no-one would have expected too much at title level from that point. The arrival of the supermiddle division was perfectly timed for him. Given his name, it was fitting that he had to travel to win his titles; British title away in Belfast, European title away in Paris. If only he had added to the set by sailing to Australia for a Commonwealth title win...

The James cook shout is a good one.

One of the most no nonsense, no frills boxers I've had the pleasure to watch. James epitomised "just getting on with it".

Always prepared to travel and to be on the right hand side of the bill taking tough fights provided the perfect grounding to eventually come good in a big way.

A bang in form Herol Graham was far too good for James' first British title tilt, but the run Cook then had at Super middleweight was fantastic and took some notable scalps with British title and Eurpean title victories. :salut:
