Roselyn Sanchez...dam...I thought my friend was kidding...I should of looked him up but just thought I ask here first to see if anybody saw him fight

I have only seen him in this movie so I don't know if he is good in anything else, but he gets bonus points for being a former boxer, now turned actor

I think the star in "King Arthur" is a boxer too.

Ever seen him box??

Apparently he earned a shot at Eubank's title by beating the legendary Eduardo Domingo Contreras

Stretch's records is a veritable "Who the **** was he?" of boxing.

He was british light middleweight champion I think. Was stopped in 6 by Eubank, who was wayyy too strong for him. Stretch was seen as a pretty boy.

He's also in the film "Dead Mans Shoes". Worth a look.

he's like Billy Joel, boxer turned singer/songwriter after he broke his nose.

He was definitely a boxer. Whether he was "legit" or not is another question

The English are really working their way up in my eyes...notable actors that aren't seemingly "*******", that come from England: Guy Ritchie's boys, Jason Stratham and Vinnie Jones
