How good was Richie Woodhall?

serviceable until his injuries, then mediocre.Not enough about him even to get past one of the worst middleweight champions i've ever seen in keith Holmes.

Very good amatuer though.

 

yeah, he sort of reminds me of kotelnik

 

It was in Boxing News.

 

yup,id say more english amature style more than anything,very upright and very proper punches,one two left hook:bbb

****ing very good at it though,a class act,just lacked that killer instinct.

the catley fight was a great fight

 

I tried looking but couldn't find it, can you help me out and give me a link?

 

The Holmes loss was a huge disappointment. Still, much better boxer than pundit/commentator.

 

Its not online mate, I saw it in an old back issue of BN.

 

I'd go with that 60-40 froch

 

His best performance was the malinga fight IMO he was immensely brave vs beyer too.... Good fighter

 

Anybody remember that programme that there was about him years ago??? Think it was called something like "Peak Performance" and was on ITV????

 

Unlucky with injuries, a very solid fighter as a pro, and a top notch amateur.

I know his 168lbs work gets most kudos, and fair dues he did win an alphabet title. But personally I think he peaked at 160, when he had excellent European and Commonwealth title reigns, when both titles meant a lot more than they do now. I think he would of beaten Holmes, had they met on the original March 96 date.

 

Considering he never had that many fights, his ratio of quality opponents is good.

 

Good honest pro as they say..
