    All Czyz did was quit when going got tough. Hamsho he pussed out against and both losses to the guy that took his madeup ltheavy title. Ducked out of Sibson to try for easy pickens in new supermid division or decimated ltheavy. A regular Duva puss built on backs of handpicked nonpunchers and weakchinners. Hamsho kickin that ass was SOOO enjoyable. "New Toty Bulldog"! what pugilistic blasphemy!

    Not sure at all don was british lightheavyweight champion at the age of just 22 he had natural talent a solid left jab and although he was unspectacular he had every punch in the book in his locker. After terrible sacrifice to make weight against Turpin in a one sided title defeat . He as everyone knows was told after hospital tests that he had problems with his metabolism and would have to carry excess weight through out his career . He had to overcome the negative attitude of the british board of control but was confident himself as he used to spar with stablemate jack Gardner regularly who was several inches taller than don and two stone (28lbs) heavier . Don had all the traditional strength of his first trade which was a blacksmith . In a head to head match-up at light-heavy I thinks it's a 50/50 . If had to pick though I'd go for don
