    Being ABA champ doesn't mean much at all :deal

    I don't know why people mention it so much on here... Its just england.

    Scotland, wales and northern ireland don't compete, its just the english ABAS.

    'Most' ABA champs don't even get to domestic level in the pros

    If your gonna talkand say someone was a top amateur you should be talking about olympic world championship and european medalists, or at the very least commonwealth gold medalists.

    Aba's mean even less as the podium squad don't compete either , it means nothing ,

    Medals in my mind work like this
    1.Olympic/world championships
    2.euro games/euro championships
    3. Multi nations eg chemistry cup
    4.pan am games

    yeah true :deal :lol:

    You get doughnuts on here like Tamwar Tibbs (who's mate Prince Patel couldn'tt even win the ABA's :lol) ,......talking about ABA champs like its a fact worth mentioning... You'd get ridiculed for mentioning someone was a English champion or Area champion in the pros on here but the English ABA's is supposed to be a big achievement according to some people :nut

    There's no such thing as "amateur" boxing.. amateur boxers do compete in amateur "boxing" though.
