    I went to Andries/HardingIII (one of boxing's most underrated trilogies), and in arguably the best of their three bouts, Dennis was the victim of an Away Town decision. But then Andries always did things differently...

    Another example would be (and I know he is not everyone's cup of tea) Johnny Nelson. A journeyman turned good, he then puts in three of the worst performances I have ever seen from a talented fighter (Deleon, Warring and Akinwande (which I had the misfortune of going to)); but redeems himself with some quality performances and an alphabet title, coincidentally starting with a victory over Andries, before slipping back into his old ways a few years later...

    Also another two British (now) commentators who turned around their career nicely would be Glenn McCrory, who went from journeyman Heavyweight to arguably for a short period the finest 190lber on the planet. And even more impressively Jim Watt; I think you would of been led away in a straight jacket if you had said in 1976 that Watt, who was losing to journeymen British Lightweights, would within five years become so good that it would take a primed Arguello to take away his crown!
