    I was watching a compilation of top 100 knockouts on sky sports about a year ago and there was a British boxer on who would knock out his opponent and then do some kind of a silly dance over the top of them when they were on the canvas.
    The boxer in question was quite a big guy, maybe Cruiser or Heavy and must of been quite successful as they had about 3 clips of him knocking different opponents out then dancing over the top of them.
    The clips looked like they were from the late 90s. I thought it might have been John McDermott or Darren Corbett but i have looked at their past fights and it doesnt seem to be them.
    Any ideas who it could be and if there is any videos or footage of their fights:think
    Cheers

    Just been thinking about this one....

    Could he be refering to Johnny Nelson?

    I'm sure Nelson did this a few times...

    Its not any of the above i dont think, although of them all it could be Corbett but i have not seen all of his previous fights so im not quite sure, but he is a bit mad so it could possibly be him
    Hes a white guy pretty big over 180lbs, quite fleshy, could possibly be of travelling/romany background. Obviously not very well educated in boxing etiquette to be dancing over his opponant.
    Its a pretty strange dance he does as he's standing over the face of his opponant and is very very funny
