    I dont know much, hence why i ask.

    He is coming back and in many ways i dont expect much, then again, would you be surprised, given his age.......

    I remember something special and he/is was.

    Ok, what i saw, was dealt with.......


    Took a while for me to fire this up in the Classic.

    Thanks.

    I watched him a bit, but not loads. He had a high workrate and looked quality within his dimensions to me.

    I want to see the Winky fight still.

    Ive got the Wright fight. It was close. I was never really that impressed with Simon. He was highly touted but always seemed to do just enough to win and made fights harder than they had to be.

    He was an idiot, that's for sure.

    What a waste of potential.

    Appreciate the replys, more than i got in two previous threads in the general.

    Yeah he was an idiot, im putting this aside.

    I cant find nothing online regarding clips and fights.

    I have the Alexander fight and some bits but on video in a box of many videos :(

    Anyone with links etc, would well be pleased to receive, or pm me if ya wish.

    Thanks again :good

    i thought the Wright fight wasnt filmed but a fan cam version existed but the cameraman was chucked out half way through the fight so the whole fight dosent exist but Klompton claims to have seen it so it probably is out there.

    I odnt know much about Simons lifestyle etc... how was he an idiot

    I also saw the Wright vs Simon fight. It was uploaded to youtube not long ago but all the uploader's videos were taken off due to copyright issues.

    The whole fight exists, it was broadcast on british television. I have the entire fight. It is not a cam recording or bootleg but a full broadcast.
