    A Warrior who just operated on the outskirts of world class championship boxing. He would be a fight for a solid world champion. The Ward-Neary fight was very even up and till the stoppage. If he met a better boxer he would be exposed but no one could question his heart. He wasn't just a brawler though he boxed well enough for a aggressive brawler. He beat Magee imo aswell so that showed what he had something about him.

    Had very little amature experience, but went on to be wbu champion and got as high as number 9 in the world in the ring magazine ranking, was in a classic battle against micky ward and stopped former british champion andy holigan in a all liverpool fight

    Yeah it was a robbery. It was the fight that really ended him sadly. If he won there he could of went on a fought a Witter or Hatton.

    Suffered for the WBU route he took but went to war every time and deserved more exposure.
    From memory, ITV screened his fights way too late.

    One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Always a true gent whenever I've met him.

    From a boxing point of view, I rated him very highly indeed.

    Him and Hatton would have been a great, great fight. So too would a fight between Hatton and Micky Ward.

  13. hit me HARDER

    hit me HARDER Guest

    My first ever part-time job was about 12 years ago in a Newsagents in Woolton, I used to see him now & again & his little lads all the time (probably not so little now!). Dead nice fella & cracking lads.

    I agree about his fights being televised too late, I believe he only made about 300k all in all, which, by the time you've bought a house etc, doesn't amount to much. Shame really cos the fella was a warrior. I believe he worked on the Railways for a bit before he opened his gym.
