    This may have been doing the rounds for yearsbut just stumbled upon this one for the first time. Genuinely don't get the impression this was sour grapes. Catley's career is an incredibly strange one where he is basically the forgotten man of British boxing. Especially considering that he koed Marcus Beyer and pretty much beat Woodhall.

    Wasnt Carl Thompson involved in an illegal handwraps scandal?

    When you think about it, Chris Eubanks face was a mess after his battles with Carl, & Eubank wasnt a man who marked up easily, even when a massive puncher like Benn landed on him!

    David Haye also couldnt take the Cats power, makes you think... or maybe it just makes me think.

    oh well!

    Did Thobela wear loaded gloves?!?

    Either way, Dingaan was a natural lightweight. Amazing achievement :yep

    Catley ended up fighting Lucas and losing in his final shot.

    Yeah Glenn said it was like being hit with a ashtray, He couldn't understand how he punched like that as he was a smaller man. Glenn clawed his way back into it after a bad start then fell apart late.

    Glenn was a very good operator and TBH deserves more respect then most because he'd go into Lions Den to fight.
