That's what I mean. He's picking up titles, making money, bigger name. I'd actually say he'd beat the Ginger at 175 too . And does a lot better Vs Beterbiev than Joe Smith or Yarde.
Harding drank himself into homelessness. Andries allegedly took the tube the day after he won the rematch and nobody recognised him. Some guys just born in the wrong era. Guys like Anthony Yarde on TV getting mainstream and social media clout when both of the above would have hospitalised him in about 5 rounds.
That first fight brings back a lot of memories. I watched it with Alberto Sandoval and his father. I think that Richard was there, too, but that might have been another fight that we watched at the same place.
Britain has had some good 175lbr down the years. Conteh,Finnegan, Freddie Mills, Len Harvey, Calzaghe, even Clinton Woods,Andries. Today you've got Yarde and Lyndon Arthur. Getting huge clout. Smith is fucking average too. Buatsi .....BUM ATSI AMIRITE? Yarde actually looks borderline down syndrome. Bums
I think bum is a bit harsh for Yarde tbh. No he isn't a great fighter or elite or anything, but when he's stepped up to that level he's always given it a proper go and had his moments, despite losing.
Bobby Czyz vs Prince Charles Williams is awesome. Czyz also had a really good fight against Robbie Sims when he was at 160. Harding vs Andries 1 is also a classic slugfest. Such heart and determination from both guys. Underrated trilogy.
