Just how good was Terry Marsh?

Yes as said a very fit boxer,plenty of skill and very determined.Was a very good amateur also.I would say he was a bit of an overachiever as a world champion,but worked hard for what he got.Ironically enough,seemed to be well handled but that may not have been the case.I think he was a grammar school boy,chess champion,but also had street smarts.Dont think he earned like he should have.He seemed to have charisma in abundance,but he fell on hard times,hope the lads doing ok now though.

 

you can add fireman and schoolboy chess champion to that.

 

Who?

 

Good points I forgot those Al,I believe his self penned autobiography is still available on Amazon,I am sure it would be a good read.

 

But wasn't too accurate,as I recall!

 

He wasn't accurate from range which was a problem in that he needed to fire off rapid shots to develop into a deadlier finisher wanted to be the British version of 'hitman Hearns'.

 

Close-but no cigar!:hat

 

As has been said very fit, technical quality boxer. The McKenzie win was big. He won the Euro title on stoppage, he mauled Joe Manley and against Kameda was looking at a cuts stoppage and went to war. He utterly ruined Manley, he lost something like 19 out of the next 20
