Clifton Mitchell was another heavywieght prospect, nutured by ITV and Frank Warren in the good old days, who looked 'pretty handy' until they put him in with someone who actually hit him back.

Not forgetting Noel Quarless, Liverpool's answer to Joe Bugner........

i'm surprised nobody has mentioned the inimitable hughroy currie

Hughroy Currie got beat by the unbeaten Horace Notice for the British title. Only for Notice to retire at a later date unbeaten with a detached retina. Small heavy weight but I think he would have beaten the false Tyson Fury.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Gary Mason RIP , was never the same after he fought Lennox Lewis

Mitchell lost his unbeaten record against Oyebola for the British title and Oyebola lost to Big Scott at Brighton in I think the last ever big time show here. Noel Quarless was one of my favourites when Boxing was shown on ITV Midweek Sports Special on Wednesday nights, I remember him wrecking Anders Eklund and John L Gardner in MASSIVE upsets and then he went off the rails, lost by DQ to a Yank then I remember being at Wembley Arena for the Bruno v Bonecrusher fight and he got KO'D in a round. He fought some big names but packed it in after Lewis KO'D him.
