  5. i dont want to buy it, but i probably will, i think quigg monroe is probably the best scrap on there
  6. i think Ricky looks frail, sure he physical appearance is a million times better than it was, however, the question is is he in shape to fight, fighters such as Froch and Mayweather claim that they are never more than a few pounds over the weight limit, therefore they are not getting in shape to fight, they are honing their skills and training to fight, i wish Ricky the best of luck and i hope he comes out of this venture unscathed.
  7. saw him fight in Rhydycar leisure centre against Wally Swift jnr back in 1990, he was sat near us after the bout with his family.... RIP Champ
  8. and to give Clinton all the trouble he could handle
  9. Rhondda's Percy Jones (26 December 1892 - 25 December 1922) became the first Welshman ever to win a World Boxing title when he took the World Flyweight Championship from Bill Ladbury in 1914. Appropriately born on Boxing Day, the diminutive Jones also took the British and European Flyweight Championships from Ladbury in the same match. He has been voted number 6 in a BBC poll of Welsh boxing greats Raised in a Porth coal mining family, Jones made his name at a local level, fighting in boxing booths, before winning the first 27 fights of his professional career. He successfully defended his World Flyweight belt once, against Eugene Criqui - a man who had beaten him six weeks before in a non-title bout. This time, with the European & World titles at stake Jones beat Criqui with a points decision over 20 rounds. Jones was knocked out in his next non-title bout by Joe Symonds and lost the belt to Tancy Lee in the second defence of his titles prompting a move to bantamweight. Jones had had difficulties staying within the Flyweight weight limit. He engaged in catchweight non-title bouts; with mixed fortunes. After again fighting Criqui, this time at bantamweight, the Porth fighter never again made the flyweight limit. His last contest was a fifth round KO of the man he took the World title from, Bill Ladbury, in 1914. In his short, illustrious career Percy Jones had reached the pinnacle of his sport and established himself as one of Wales' finest ever boxers. World War I interrupted his boxing career and Percy enlisted in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. He was serving as a sergeant when he was badly wounded in the leg. After almost 30 operations to save the leg it was eventually amputated. Jones was also badly affected by poison gas. He died of trench fever in 1922 on Christmas Day, one day short of his 30th birthday. referenced from wiki... interesting story
  10. It's been reported that former tough WBO light-heavyweight champ Julio González was tragically killed in a road accident aged only 35. Apparently he was killed by a drink driver whilst on his motorbike.... RIP Champ
  11. great to see two top guys getting it on, this is what boxing needs, not mosely v canelo and garbage fights like that..
  12. Mosley hasnt won a decent fight in years and really doesnt deserve the paydays hes been getting, why doesnt he step aside and let the younger fighters have a stab at the big money.... hang on i just answered my own question....
  13. isnt Roach just the trainer? or am i just being a grinch?
  14. got to go with the welshman.... too strong and a better fighter altogether and welsh!
  15. black lights by hauser, read it, its excellent, you all owe it to Billy Costello to read it, you dont really but it is really a good read, RIP Billy
