    I don't get a quote in that article ?

    Booth, who still holds the record for the greatest number of wins in the ring, claimed he committed the offences for financial reasons.

    Some bad research there :lol:

    Surprising, he didn't seem the type. Booth sounds like a character from Minder.

    At one point he had the greatest number of wins of any active british fighter. that's what they meant I think.


    but yeah, I thought Booth was a great, down to earth guy, but a member of a drugs ring? unforgivable man, I hate drug dealers (hard drugs anyway)

    Is that the guy who did an Ali shuffle and KOed a young boxer in what I guess was a bit of an upset? excellent vid that.

    not really an "upset". apparently the guy was a bit of a local wannabe "hardnut", not many people like him (apart from his fans who started chanting "you fat *******") thats why the entire front row starts celebrating when Booth knocks him out lol



    this just makes it all the more disappointing...

    Haha I just assumed any time Booth won it was an upset, but looks like Langdale packed it in after 3 consecutive losses :lol:

    Shame, funny how you get 9 years for supplying things that cause less long term harm than alcohol and cigarettes but if he'd molested a child or raped a woman he would have got half the time. In fact if he'd molested a kid he would have got about 12 months.

    Ecstacy has less deaths to its name than allergic reactions to peanuts and the World Health Organisation did a huge metaanalysis into long term cocaine use as a reacreational habit and found it no more damaging than recreational (non binge) drinking.

    But people who happily glug back a whiskey still like to get on their moral highhorse about **** they know **** all about.
