    I'm a big fan of Woodhalls, the best in the UK at what he does IMHO.

    Telford based Woodall is a decent human being

    A family man

    Father Ted trained him

    Humble and honest - and a solid pro who was good enough to win the WBC World Super Middleweight title

    Gave Roy Jones a decent fight in the Olympics

    Lost in a WBC title fight to Keith Holmes went down brave in the final round where Don King ****ed him around and hampered his preparation

    Lost to Joseph Calzaghe in 10 rounds

    Woodall like to spend time with his family and go fishing with his dad

    He done 12 rounds of training over various different things

    bag
    pads
    floor to ceiling
    speedball

    and sparring

    and various floor execises

    there was a excellent programme on in the 1990's that featured exculsively Richie Woodall and Roy Jones Jnr and gave a insight into their lifes and showed them at work in the gym - did anyone else see it - ?

    Woodhall, he was a much better boxer than Froch, not big at the weight as a super middle but I still think he'd win on points.

    He was nearly blown away by German Markus Beyer - I remeber watching that in shock.

    I didnt think Beyer could punch much - but Woodall had a torrid opening 3 rounds.

    Woodall was a upright European style boxer

    He wan the European title too - against Silvio Branco

    I remeber the Malinga fight - he floored him in the 3rd round - WBC title win

    This was the Malinga who had beaten Nigel Benn and Robin Reid in WBC title fights

    woodhall was very good technically, good jab and fought with that student aspect to his game, froch's style would be perfect for him and he would've won a UD
