Did you ever see the video of flops brother doing a white collar as a literally last minute stand in pal? Was in the crowd to watch and opponent never turned up so he took his top off gloved up and in he went. 😆 if you’ve not seen it let me know and will send it you

I used to train at Carl Thompson’s gym in Horwich. What a fucking amazing guy he is.

Mike Tyson doesnt get in my top 10 nevermind 5. 

Bashed a load of bums about then got beat by the top fighters. Was a Street fighter not a boxer.

To be the best you've got to have the complete package, discipline/training/mindset.

Boxings answer to gazza.

Dear me! 

He ripped up the whole division.  There were several heavyweights around at the time who could have held titles in a different era but none of them could live with Tyson in his prime. The guy was phenomenal.

There's been some cracking boxers over the years, i've given this some thought over the last day or 2 - my top 5:-

Mayweather has to be number 1, his record speaks for itself then in no other particular order, RJJ, Calzaghe, Lewis, Leonard.

Could easily make a case for a few others too, it's a tough call

What were you training to be?

Initially I wanted to be a middleweight champion, but once I threw my ring up after 2 rounds of sparring with Carl, I set my target a bit lower and just wanted to be fit enough to drive home without stopping to cry.
