    Why does no one talk about him on here...

    he was a world class light heavyweight for years

    had a good resume fought the best in his division ducked no one

    only calzaghe, froch, burns and haye have better resumes in recent years imo

    Yeah, good fighter.

    World champ, fought good opponents, took risks, and then got out before he declined to much and I beleive went back to plastering and raising his family.

    Much respect for that!

    I think he's forgotten because he does no tv work like other retired fighters

    I think Joe and Clinton were going to fight after Hopkins and tarver.

    But woods lost so the fight went out. Would have been a good fight. I think calzaghe would have won but woods would have brought it to him for 12 rounds

    He stopped my dad in 3 rounds and he now trains one of my mates who is a pro cruiserweight. Good fighter in his day but didn't get noticed as much cause he wasn't mouthing off and wasn't with the Ingle's.

    He's got his own gym in Sheffield - had a few pros then retired from training pros to train his amateurs, although at least one of them has now turned pro with him.
