I believe a true fighter would never surrender their ambition.

I realise that to him it's just a living. With that amount of losses it's clear he doesn't really care about fighting all that much
I don't know, maybe he just didn't get the chance.

You obviously know better than me how the system works but I expect that the best he could have realisitically hoped for was modest domestic honours, maybe a British title shot.

Given that that was his limit he probably felt he could make more money fighting regularly for a paycheck rather than fight every 3 or 4 months and have a 30 or 40 fight career.

You're career is just about to take off and you're full of hope and optimism.

Maybe if you lose 3 in a row and realise you'll never be a star but you still love boxing then maybe you'd do the same?

But what am I saying, your Irish all you have to do is turn pro and you'll sell out in Dublin!
