    Any old lower level fights you always have a soft spot for ??

    For me ......first of all
    David Walker vs Spencer Fearon

    Now during this period....BBC were showing a bit of boxing.....early froch fights...david haye etc....and I have to say it was this period that got me back into boxing properly....and following the less well known names.....up to then the only british boxer had really taken to and followed was lennox lewis , was like 14 when leiws fought Ruddock, i was the only person i knew who actually wanted lewis to beat bruno ....as i felt lewis had more scope to achieve big things

    But anyway.....i love the walker fearon fight.....walker was a local guy ( sidcup but fighting out of Fisher Boys Blub in Bermondsey ) and he had fcking heart....and i urge anyone to look this fight up on youtube
    Getting dropped on the bell on two consecutive rounds amd to come back to win.....was brilliant viewing

    And his all action fights got him a somewhat unwarrented european title shot which he lost....but nonetheless got a well deserved payday for his efforts

    Big up kid dynamite Walker

    And honourable mention is Big fat John Mcdermott bashing up muscle bound Larry Olumbiwo ( spellcheck ? ) in a round

    Always nice to see a fat boxer with natural boxing skills ( but dont get paid enough to live the life ) beat a body builder

    Look em up people

    Was a big Jimmy Thunder fan.

    Daniel Martz is exciting when matched with his level.

    Emanuel Augustus was a thrill a minute

    Deontay Wilder. How on Earth from getting knocked down by a check jab from Dustin Nichols to World Champion?? That's a true Rocky Story
