Considering 99.9% of people who walk into a boxing gym would never even reach British title level or get world title shots, I’d say he was a success

not everyone can be a world champ, but very very few get to be a world title challenger either.

Man... that ear injury... *shudders*

Fought hard, just not world champion level. So what? Some of my favorite fighters never were in their era. Hope he managed his money and has a great next stage with is family. Be healthy, and tell boxing stories.

Yes good point, i was very unfair in my previous comment looking back. Maybe just having an off day I usually respect any combatant regardless of achievement.

I commend anyone who can end their career with no regrets because they gave it their best
