Your favourite domestic Veteran?

[brown bomber]

Ryan Rhodes winning the other night really got me remembering the good old days so with a little respect for the oldies, who is your favourite veteran still active today and what do you envisage them achieving before the end of there careers?

Omissions-
All current world champs like Witter, Zag and Hatton.

Also include
Danny Williams
Pele Reid
Micheal Sprott if he's active
Herbie Hide

[The taff]

Shea O'Neary deserves to be on that list if you are including retired as well.

i thought eastman was pure class..

[dwilson]

I have gone for Rhodes. He has alway been my favorite of those fighters and with his recent success I hope he achiev's abit more and goes some way to grab what I thought he could when I first saw him fight.


Great list Jeff. I like Dean Francis too. I hope he gets a few decent fights but I doubt his shoulder will hold when he steps up in class. Him vs Clinton Woods would be good to watch.

[BIG WORM]

Its Gotta Be John Thaxton Aint It, Hes A True Domestic Veteran

[SleazeNation]

I liked Sinky. I used to be a power addicted, him and Wayne Alexander.

We're missing any young guys now who, while maybe not top level boxers, could just starch people like that :bbb

[TFFP]

Dean Francis without doubt.

Hoping he can pull it out against Oakey

Lots of well schooled youngsters coming through but no major bangers. Its seems like a million years since we had Lueshing, Alexander, Francis, Williams, Samuals, Ryan, Richie Evatt, Steve Murray and Mike Gomez punching holes in decent durable guys. Good puncher in the ams form my neck of the woods Scott Cardle.

looks good

[Fat Joe]

Always liked Eastman

[elle]

Michael Gomez springs to mind - his career has been a bit of a rollercoaster!

Seems like he has been around forever - must be at least 10+ years as a pro.

Has the opportunity to avenge his defeat against Peter McDonagh for the Irish Title in May.

:good

[GazOC]

Ryan Rhodes, I liked him on the way up at 154 but it was obvious he was never going to make a world class middleweight. Hopefully he can win some titles at 154 before he retires.

Would Ian Napa be considered a vetern.

He seems to tipify "If you at first you don't succeed try,try,again"

He seems to tipify "If you at first you don't succeed try,try,again" Yeah i've made some silly ommisions. Pele Reid, Jason Booth and Napa are all vets too!

[hide]

herbie hide and glenn catley for defs

[SleazeNation]

Herbie Hide is great, one distance fight in 46.

I wonder how far he can go at cruiserweight :huh

billy smith, he brings out the best in our boxers, always willing to fight at any weight and at any notice, he may not be a veteran yet but if we counted up the rounds........ we'd find he's been round the block a few times, well done billy :good

[dwilson]

How is Glen Clatley doing? I heard he had made a comeback and was looking quite good picking up wins then he went to fight abroad?

[dwilson]

I always enjoy seeing Tony Booth, shame he's retiring but it is for the best.



Delroy Spencer is a classic vet.

[Benjiabc]

i quite like lockett, i no hes a big outsider but i rate his chances against kelly, he deserves a big shot :good

[Uzi Wong]

Howard Eastman was a class act, Ryan rhodes also a great domestic operator. Never liked Herbie Hide, he is a clown with a terrible attitude and i'm looking forward to seeing him get ktfo soon as he has one of the worst chins in British boxing (just behind Pele Reid).
