    a Tough, rugged Boxer, with no real KO Punch, if only Bruce Woodcoock was as tough.

    hear Farr make an indictment really, against British Boxing Managers & Promoters.

    When I was first posting on this forum, I unhesitantly had him as the #3 all time British heavyweight, behind Lewis and Fitzsimmons.

    If you had told me then that British heavyweights would be dominating the division in 2021, I would have thought that you were crazy.

    Since then we have Fury and Joshua pushing him down to #5, and his position could slip further in coming years.
