post your thoughts up n some british boxers then
Ok mate, erm
I think perhaps right now one of our finest fighters to recently join the professional ranks in the last couple of years, is probably Joe Costello.
As an amatuer he was the youngest fighter to win the European gold. As a schoolboy at circa 43kg's he was rated as the no1 in the world.
He's just turned over at lightweight with Frank Warren, and upon his debut, against the super-durable Yusef Al Hamida.
Don't let Hamidi's record fool you, he comes to deliberately lose - but sometimes when he is pissed off, he will turn you over. I'd guess that most of you have seen Anthony Crolla? well Hamidi handed him his first loss. I'm sure a few have heard of Manchester's John Murray too? on the Froch undercard he got his ass handed to him by Hamidi and how he scored a win, nobody could believe it. Only 1 guy from 87 fights has ever stopped Hamidi, and that was a prime Michael Gomez who did him in three rounds.
Costello flattened him in a round without breaking a sweat. Costello is still very green and raw as a professional, but I think he could be one to watch, definitely.
