'The CAT' - Carl Thompson's Boxing Story - Part 1

[@thehomefront1905]

All you up and coming young fighters need to look this guy up, he was as tough as nails with a huge heart, big respect.

[@mlee7290]

So underrated and what a humble guy.

[@tony29051]

A true gentleman with the heart of a lion. Seen him last night at a amataur boxing event in Salford, posed for photos, signed autographs, and is a great role model of how to behave and look after yourself. Only man to stop David Haye and Chris Eubank (wow imagine that on your CV).

[@malcolmmagneto7736]

One of my favourite boxers of all time. A totally underrated fighter.

[@jobymich]

A great insight into a hard working humble man....

[@SekretSkwirral]

Top boxer, never got the recognition he deserved

[@tomjohnson4901]

Absolute legend. The Right hand he landed on Rothman to win the fight is without doubt the best punch I've ever seen.

[@karmone11]

STOP IT.

[@bigdaddy4069]

I'll admit it, I'm surprised how sharp he still is after all the punishment he took. . . . . Huge fan back in the day, not the most talented but very hard worker, very brave, very powerful.

[@ryanharriss7950]

Awesome guy.

[@stanlaurel5719]

glaswegians loved this guy

[@Apexbossman]

Would of loved to of met Phil Martin

[@porkyturner272]

LEGEND

[@Helios601]

A real gutsy durable fighter. Obviously the guy was on roids but that aint bashing as they all do them but's it's so obvious with him lol he's barely recognizable now and that has nothing to do with the fact that he's just not fighting. Great fighter.

[@Helios601]

wat?

[@lc-cf2db]

Helios601 he wasnt on roids you dumbass

[@paulhendrych2501]

Helios601 carlthompson never did anything the easy way.Very decent bloke and never gave up his vision...

[@fightermma]

@@Helios601 How exactly is it "obvious that he's on roids"? Have you seen him get injected with steroids or performance drugs? Has he ever failed a drug test? Have you seen his blood work and see that it has traces of P.E.Ds in the blood? If so then yes it obvious but if not then clearly it isn't obvious.

[@djwazz07]

What a wanker statement to make 🙄 so because he was ripped etc he was on the juice??? Fuck off back under the rock you crawled out from
