Amateur standout
One of the best amateurs to come out of Hollington ABC. Three ABA titles if I remember correctly.
Had a stint in the pros but not sure where his head was at and how serious he took things.
One of those "what might have been"
RIP Danny

Didn't he post on the forums, or have a representative post on his behalf or am I thinking of someone else - wasn't it around the Napa fight, wasn't he like a comeback opponent for Napa after a long layoff (for Napa).
RIP - I do remember he had a fair amount of talent - particularly in the amateurs.

Bunce, Glyn Leach, Eric Guy, Derry Matthews and is it Dale Robinson commeting on the thread? Very good posters we lost along the way (I'm aware two are dead but they'd stopped posting anyway).

Danny's amateur bout with Darrell Easton was terrific

Dale Robinson, now that was a blast from the past - he was a talented boxer.
I would say both Glyn and Eric, were both active posters (perhaps not as active, but were active) at the time of their death. Both loses the boxing community is still feeling. What a magazine Boxing Monthly was under Glyn's lead.

Nice link, mate. Glyn was a lovely man. That 11 years has flown.
