    I am sure Jeff started one a few years back that was kept running for a while.

    Theres one I remember with Ortiz might be Calderon. I remember seemed a lot bigger or smaller than them now.

    My mate is sending my some vids of his first couple of fights..... if anyone would make any observations I'd be grateful.

    He Lacy'd a bloke not so long back yet ''lost'' and is a bit pissed off....

    I knew that Hatton gave Jamie a kicking in the amateurs.

    I think he stopped Colin Lynes in about 20 seconds too.

    I'm surprised Fewkes lost to Brook in the ams.

    Nah, it's the truth.

    Calderon also gave DLH a lesson during sparring for the Floyd fight too :yep

    It's a shame his career didn't amount to as much as what it could have done.

    Nah, serious. Calderon beat Cotto when they were kids.

    How about this for a random one...Troy Ross beat Charles Adamu at the 98 Commonwealth games. And then Courtney Fry beat Ross.

    And as Beeston says when Oscar was preparing for Floyd he sparred Calderon in Puerto Rico and Calderon gave loads of trouble (this came from Roach I think).
