    look at who he fought. look at how few fights he'd had when he fought them. look at the age he started. look at the lack of experience he had compared to what he achieved.

    he took his chances. took his wins with his losses. he's got more courage than many boxers of this age...

    experience of his opponents.

    5. 16
    6. 14 (contender series)
    7. 32 (oganov ")

    The blokes earnings for a dozen fights would be impressive........... he certainly lucked in with the contender and Mundine fights. Set himself up financially for sure.

    Even the Soliman fight he probably got a decent figure... anyone know the amount?

    Garth Wood is the most disgusting fighter I have ever seen, how he didn't get disqualified in his fights with Mundine, Karitz & Oganov is unbelievable.

    The type of statement I'd expect from someone who knows jack **** about boxing. Also it's Wood not Wood's you ****ing ******.

    I do however think Wood would crack Sherrington's glass jaw. :deal

    Not a fan of his style but got to give it to him he didnt worry about padding his record. He went in and had a go.
