    Great fighter for me, anytime he was on Sky, i was there.

    Exciting, relaxed, composed, came right at you and of course, a BANGER ! ! !

    Oh, and he always had cool as **** boots :yep

    Anyways..........

    I cant seem to find ****all else on youtube, all my stuff is on videos.

    That punch was just like the Joe Townsley one, sickening.

    Fought Harry Simon at quite short notice if i remember correctly.

    Brit Forum, dish up your memories stories and any links you may have or find.

    Would be greatly appreciated here.


    Cheers :thumbsup

    Wayne was such a frustrating fighter.

    He took the Harry Simon fight on the Friday night and made a fist of it but his chin wasn't his best attribute but it made him so exciting.

    I remember when he won the European title i thought maybe he will make a crack of his career once and for all but nope his career just stalled again.

    He lacked the skills for world level but could of held a alphabet strap if he fought a B level fighter.

    He had a strange career he was injury prone and unlucky...i remember a story he was supposed to fight in a title fight and he tried jump gate on his road run and broke his ankle...that's the sort of stuff he had go wrong.

    He had a war with Paul Samuels if i remember rightly i was a kid growng up back then and Wayne being a south London boy i watched him with interest.

    Shame his career never went where it could of went.

    Wayne was/is a class act in and out of the ring. Very exciting to watch and could KO ANYONE if he landed. His war with Samuels was a great fight, if I remember rightly both were unbeaten going in.

    His KO of Takaloo is the single most devastating knock out I have ever seen and it's the one I always refer to when discussing spectacular knock-outs. Boxing News recently ran a Top 10 devestating KO's feature and left that one out of the ten, which really surprised me (wrote to them about it).
