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!

There was a time in boxing history when Glenn McCrory could have been considered THE best in his division? That is almost depressing.

LOL, for a VERY short period he probably was, which I think shows how poor the division was at the time. But Lumumba was meant to take over from Holyfield, and McCrory beat him convincingly; and although those watching on ITV would not realize, Glenn came back later, to put an excellent comeback win in, after losing the early rounds badly against Makathini.

Jesus... and people call David Haye a shit cruiser let alone Johnny Nelson.

Yes I remember Nelson in them fights he stank the place out, but he could fight when he put his mind
to it, as for Watt he was a tough SOB underrated I feel, McCrory could box a bit but Lampkin was a
bit to much for him. Good examples of fighters that lost earlier in there careers, but went on to be
World Champions.
