Re: Biggest Let Down In British Boxing History
Kirkland Laing is another one that comes to mind aswell, he totally outboxed the great Roberto Duran, how he didn't achieve more is beyond me. I think of the UK members mentioned before that he lives like a tramp now or something ? which is sad to hear.

Good Shout

Steve Bunce did an interview with Kirkland it is a shame to see what happened to such a talented fighter

Heres the video

Cheers for the link mate Kirkland Laing come to mind quickly for me, because i not long ago watch him give Roberto Duran a boxing lesson. Kirkland Laing could have been great he had all the tools IMO.

Audley wasn't a let down as I never expected anything great from him.

Naz was a letdown as his career left us shortchanged I feel.

The biggest letdown for me was Frank Bruno in his second fight with Tyson.

I know Frank was shite but all the fear etc he said he wouldn't have just got the better of him and he folded like an origami busines during the credit crunch.

Had a bit of a party that night and we all had high hopes - what a let down

[Tam Seddon]

Bruno getting knocked out against Bonecrusher on route to his title shot, that was a let down.
