Henry Wharton

[ross]

I liked the reason/excuse he never fought Ashley and retired as he said he knew he had nothing left and did not want to cheat the fans. Many fighter would have gone on and made one last pay day eg Tyson, Jones etc

Some may view it as chickening out though. It was a fight in the pipeline for a while and when it finally came Wharton called it quits. Its certainly summat I remember about him when I look back. Whether he was scared or not is another question but the same goes for Collins and Calzaghe. Whether he likes it or not he backed out of a fight so people are going to form opinions on why.

That is harsh considering he went against the best and certainly better fighters than Crawford.

Crawford went in with Nunn who is arguably better than anyone Wharton shared the ring with

For christ sake, hes saying that Benn, Eubank and Reid are better fighters than Ashley. Not better fighters than whoever kicked Ashleys ass.

Id take Eubank over Nunn any day. Eubank beat Rocchigiani comfortably when he was unbeaten and in Germany but Nunn lost to him and Nunn fought him after hed lost to Eubank then Maske Twice and Michalczewski.
