    He had some good fights in his career. What fight was it where the ref stopped him and he burst into tears? That was real theatre.

    Donald Curry, Ive often wondered what would have happened if for the cut. I know he was coming 2nd but he wasnt distressed in any way plus he always was a slow starter.

    That's it. I remember watching it on ITV but only noticed the bit where he started crying when I watched it years later. Maybe ITV didn't show it originally.

    Colin Jones was a top top fighter and a credit to British boxing , his 2 fights with Kirkland Laing were classics. some of the best ever in British boxing history.

    The Gravedigger from Gorseinon was one of the roughest toughest fighters to come out of Britain - I remember his giving Milton McCrory hell over their two fights and he was really unlucky to not get the nod and become a world champ.

    He was doubly unfortunate to come up against Don Curry (who I really rate) when he was at his peak, and he got sliced and diced much like Minter did against Hagler.

    Colin never managed to make Curry move his feet, which was the key to beating Curry - if you let him plant his feet and stand in front of you, he could pull the trigger faster than you and he would beat you up. Every time his opponent kept him unbalanced, he could not get his rhythm or leverage and he lost.

    Glad to hear Colin's doing OK though!
