Someone comes in my betting office who I won't name, reckons he lost to pat Barrett as a pro. But he ain't on boxrec. Don't know really why I hold onto this blatant bull **** but I do.
Fecking Max Branning gave his thoughts on the best fighter not to win a world title in recent years and he said Lewis Ritson lolol
Harmless stories are part of boxing. And to be fair Boxrec is far from a complete work. But it is unlikely Pat Barrett's pro record is incomplete on the site.
I want to believe him from how adamant he was about it, did show me pictures of him training but I could do that from my white collar bouts. He calls a fight well tho. I said to him when wilder fought breazil that I thought breazil had a chance. He told me I don't have a ****ing clue how professional boxing works and that wilder wouldn't fight any one who has a chance until it's against aj cos he won't want to risk that payday. Haven't seen him since AJ lost
the 3 Greatest are. Len Harvey Jock McAvoy Bert Gilroy in short these men are very nearly world champions, given the chance at their respective weights that they were denied at, they were as good as any one of their peers. and 2 more, Ernie Roderick and Eric Boon. Given the chances that they never got.
Herol Graham doesn't even belong on the list, he had 3 chances at world titles and lost. those fights count and he got beat, they were real, he got his chances and it is now written history. many others didn't get chances, many more like Herol did and lost too, who were better than Herol. so it's hard to put him on such a list truthfully
of course they do, read what I said, wait I'll read it for you... many more like Herol did and lost too, who were better than Herol. read before you shout, not doing so might be seen as idiotic.
