Pele Reid, the man who knocked out Vitali

athlete's from one sport are not neccesarily good in others, another example is boxer Mayorga in MMA, or even football player Larsen as a boxer

Larsen's boxing career has arguably been more successful than his football one. Also, don't ignore his achievements in shot put, javelin, discus, judo, bench press and chess.

He's a good poster when he wants to be but his routine gets tiresome after a while. It is interesting that you pull me up but Seamus gets a free pass as per usual. There is a bit of a tendency towards cliquishness on Classic sometimes I think.

I think you miss read that Griffo,

I was referring to Seamus' remark, but more so all posters who prefer attack and insult rather than reveiwing opinions or worse ignoring documemted fact.

I am on your side and the side of all the other considerate respectfull posters.

Was trained by Ingle. Great athlete who never really made it as a boxer.

That man is amazing...is there a sport that he tried and didnt dominate?

Reid is not a great Kickboxer. He had 4 fights in K1 and lost all 4. I think he held the WBO intercontinental title for a while but when u compare him to 9 time world champ likes Kaman or 4 time GP winner Hoost there is no comparison!

He was also a terrible boxer losing to Juius francis and Orlin Norris etc In fact he actually vacated the European belt i believe to avoid VK in the boxing ring.

I was expecting a fairly straightforward 'whatever happened to Pele Ried' type thread
