How good Peter Culshaw

Just looking at his boxrec and seems he was the only one to ever KO Napa, but like most talented Liverpool fighters he went with that awful WBU belt.

Reading Ic Liverpool and this article says he was IBF rated at one time.

A fight with him and Kelly would have been great and it's a shame they waited so long for it. I "think" they just waited too long with Culshaw before moving him up and before you knew it his prime was gone. Fringe world class but I don't think ever good enough to win a title, think Kelly would have beaten him

He looked good against Napa, who just stopped between rounds.

Napa was rushed into that fight IMO, but still a good win for Clushaw nethertheless.

He was a very decent British flyweight who scored a great win over Ward for the Commonwealth title, but wasted a lot of time with the WBU title.

Another good boxer whose motivation or interest just seemed to diminish when holding one these pointless titles.

Good boxer but would have been a bit out of his depth at World class.

Think Kelly would have outclassed him.

Yes he was a good fighter. i was at the Napa fight and although he was behind on the score cards, IMOP, he did well to rally in the 7th i believe it was. Although i do think Napa's conditioning had a lot to do with that.

Had a lot of talent and should have achieved more but used to let his weight balloon between fights. Loved a night out, I understand
