      David Haye was a late bloomer who peaked for Bellew 1 and 2. Put up a great effort vs Bellew. Cash in - His Excellency

        Carl Thompson also served as a Bogeyman to Chris Eubanks whom he defeated twice, and Ralph Rocchigiani avenging a prior loss to him.
        Thompson was no one to be played with by any of the fighters of his day, because he had a sturdy chin, power in his punches, and strong lungs.

            Thompson had a **** of a manager early in his career who wanted money for interviews with Carl Thompson hence why he was not popular and Carl himself done that a few times
