One fighter who does not get the respect he is due Carl the CAT Thompson

It was partly a case of Piper being well overhyped, and having an ego the size of Wales to step into the ring with Thompson, despite giving away perhaps a stone.

But Carl (in fact I think he was still Adrian) was impressive and controlled and dominated the fight. And when you think The Cat was coming off a bad two round stoppage to another big puncher (Davis), it was more than a good showing, it was an excellent showing, almost world class.

 

i will try and one of my kids to get me nelson's book for christmas though i will not get to it until late jan. thanks for the book recomendation

 

To be honest i think it's a bit of a **** book. Interesting story, just not told very well.

Sorry!

 

yeah i have a documentry on carl, its tells you about his background in kickboxing, also billy graham says carl was the hardest trainer he ever trained hatton included, also carl says he didnt make much from boxing it shows you his house, and for a former world champion you would of expected a bigger house, shame really americans would of loved carls style he was like a poormans mathew saad muhamed

at the time of the documentry he was looking for last big fight it was a few years ago 2 or 3
