He didn't fight those fighters without gaining some expierience.
His mentality was not to learn however, it was to make money.
I don't know much about him but I imagine family pressures and needing to have a regular income meant he needed to fight every few weeks in order to provide for his family.

Not everyone can be an contender. He's probably still had a great career really, I mean he'll be able to tell his grandkids he shared the ring with some of Britain's finest fighters of his generation.

True he may have lost them all but at least he was in there. The best most of us will be able to say is that we shook a fighters hand when we went to a boxing match
