    Can we have a moment for the great Peter Buckley - journeyman extraordinaire.

    Another good one, how about Yousseff Al-Hamidi - he's been in the ring with loads of big names and actually isn't as bad as his record suggests.

    David Kehoe.
    Saw him get beat by Willie Bilan in Kirkcaldy before he then went across to the crowd and started winding them up for no apparent reason.
    It worked and was pretty funny.
