Colin Jones

[X]

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!
