    anthony small..

    i hadn't seen him fight until he fought hall. he was mouthing from the rafters and saying he was this and that. in the ring, he couldn't even throw punches correctly. in his next fight with mcdonagh he was absolutely awful and thankfully lost to webb. now he is seen as a hated nutjob.

    Good call. Hampered by injury but never as good after he won the world title as he seemed he could become before he won it. A bit like Bary McGuigan. Also Naseem Hamed, who could have become the best British boxer ever.

    I'm disappointed that certain guys didn't achieve more but they've all reached heights greater than most of us. I'd be so proud to have won an area title. A British title would be an incredible achievement I can't imagine.

    John Murray.

    Was actually a fan of this guy before he started to NEVER ****ing step up. He hasn't improved as a fighter either, in my opinion.

    He's stepped up in this next fight, but I think only because there was pressure on him to take it.

    Mitchell's going to do him.

    Yep Naz, for never fulfilling his potential, could have easily been British GOAT; to have that ability at 20/21, can't remember another British fighter show so much talent at such a tender age.

    Lewis for not giving Vitali a re-match.

    Hatton for his diet, he should still be boxing on, he's still at his prime age and it's such a shame because no one got the British public more excited about a fight more than he used to.

    scott harrison for throwing it all away im sure when he looks back in a few years it will kill him how daft hes been.
    naz he had it all but unlike scott never drank it away just let fame and money get in the way.
    peter richardson looked a great prospect but cuts destroyed his career
    herol graham just bad luck
    gerald murphy great prospect but wrong move signing with the ingles ruined his career
