Was searching for a thread like this, as I was just about to roll off on a bout of praise of the man on a new thread.

Martin Rogan must be one of the hardest men ever to grace a British boxing ring, and it is only the consideration of the vast history of British boxing that makes me put "one of the" before the word "hardest".

I must admit that prior to this I was a little worried about Matt Skelton getting on his skates and trying to dance around Rogan as he did to Williams a few years ago. However, Rogan had none of it, and penned him into the corners for much of the fight.

Floyd Mayweather might look at these two fighters, and see prospects for him to come out of retirement for an RJJ-style heavyweight bout, because neither man was stylish nor quick, but in terms of effort and lasting power, they were both in there slugging it out for 10 amazing rounds.

Hearing the interview with Rogie after the fight, and on Buncey's boxing hour later on in the week, I couldn't be more chuffed for him. A true gent, and absolutely the best chin among the heavyweights. Truly, if you could combine the attributes and skills of Audley Harrison with the chin, determination and stamina of Rogan, I imagine we would have ourselves a replacement for Lennox.

I truly hope Rogan can get a few paydays out of this now, and at least make a few defences of his Commonwealth belt, and get a hold of the European belt that Skelton lost, by not retaining his Commonwealth belt.

And hopefully, I'll be in Belfast to see the next step of the dream!
