Comments Thread For: Carl Thompson Reflects on Career, TKO of David Haye

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There is nothing worse than the loss of what you once had or felt, Manchester’s Carl Thompson knows this better than most. Even though he is 39 and seven years away from his last fight, the former British, European, IBO and WBO titlist would fight tomorrow — and over 10-rounds at a decent pace — if he could.

Like many former champions who have fallen into the vale of years, “The Cat”, 34-6 (25), hungers for those heady days of give-and-take, the fans cheering him on to improbable victories and the glory of title wins, but it can never be. His licence is gone, so is his prime, the fans all moved on to the next generation and the mere mention of a comeback for their former favourite is greeted with a shudder.

Carl Thompson was one of my favorite fighters. His wars with Eubank were gruesome arduous battles! He is one tough man and deserved the big fights/ the big paydays! A fighter that gave so much to the sport....... and took very little away! Thanks for all the awesome memories big-man!!!

A true warrior, the guy had no quit in him

Filled with errors and typos.

He's 49 not 39.

It's champs camp not champs champ, etc.

It's solo not 'sold'.

Get a proof reader.

Surprised the author didn't write more about the Rothmann fight. I'd have the final round of that fight up there with the 10th round of Corales-Castillo I. The most amazing comeback ever. The commentator was screaming for the judge to stop the fight on the account of Carl being hurt and stumbling all across the ring when Carl suddenly regained his composure and turned Rothmann's lights off with a perfect one-two... If there ever was a single fight that made a boxing fan out of me that was this fight.

So what did he have to say about the haye fight, im not reading all that.?

Does he remember how good Haye was and that he was being battered by haye until haye out of gas

TKO5 butt hurt babies.

Carl had no quit in him. He went to town on his opponents.
