+++Your British Boxing Heroes From Past+++

Yep. Catley was a good fighter and he DID beat Woodhall. Richie admitted it didn't he, i think in the post fight interview. You've gotta respect Woodhall. Class act!

That's another feature of the 90's, Mand. The Guzman syndrome. The only thing though was that there was no implosions like with Joan because the fighters were warriors and always made it. A lot of fighters didn't understand the science of weight making though.

 

Dunno if he's been mentioned yet - Henry wharton.

 

great left hook,he was just in a extra hard weight at a great time.
loved watching him as well:thumbsupsure was no *****

 

Just been re watching some on youtube. Threw beautiful hooks.:good

 

Wharton was a tough fighter. Very good on his day. and maybe unlucky not to get a strap at world level. The quiet man of that era. Anyone seen his blood bath with Rod Car? that was a great win considering the circumstances.

 

Keep them coming, fellas. :good

I'm surprised Gaz hasn't been on raving about Horace Notice and Hughroy Currie though.:?

 

Henry Wharton had a saying "Everytime i jab, i need to do it twice just to make sure" lol. I love that saying because i can relate to it.

True story with me: Ever since I was in school I've been setting my watch exactly 7 mins fast. Some of the kids would make fun of me so I had to come up with the story that my favourite footballer wears number 7 and I'm just paying respect to him. I had everyone in class setting their watch by their favourite footballers jersey number and never had the heart to tell anyone that it was OCD and my fear of being late, LOL!

 

Same here, Mand. I ain't seeing no doctor for it either. (That makes it seem like there's something wrong with me, lol!). I've carried it for years and it's just part of me now. It's not severe though, thankfully. Just double checking when i lock the door or cleaning things more than they need to be cleaned. I think my condition is more in action than in thoughts. I was told that if you see it as irrational than it just gets worse, it's better just to embrace it and as you say, learn to live with it.
