Lovely tribute to both gentlemen,

I learned so much from David, and his father Wally, The Pearces are a remarkable family, kind and loving, with the heart of warriors, big, big respect,

I think there's one of Johnny Owen and probably Jimmy Wilde as well.

Johnny owen one is in a shopping centre in Merthyr Tydfil, along with the Howard winstone one nearby. Eddie thomas one is up the road. Spent a nice afternoon visiting them on a wee holiday down the brecon beacons. Great boxing legacy for one town, brilliant

You’re uncle was a hero. Rarely get upset but one hell of a man

@@MufcGgmu38 tysm for the support and kindness to him🙏🏽❤️

@@MufcGgmu38 he’s lying David is my nans cousin

There is an hour long documentary on ITV that goes in to detail, Pearce's argument at the time was he was at no greater risk (Harley street neurologist recommendation) than any other boxer and had just signed to fight for the World title.

@@thewelshrocky-davidbomberp1224 Thanks for the info. Regards

He was related to David's mum x

Welsh people never hated on Calzaghe we always support our people including Calzaghe, in fact that was one of his problems at the start of his career the only place that regularly filled arenas up in would be in Wales because of the lack of support from England who had people Hatton and Khan at the time and I think a few more champs ,so when they were on top they didn't really care about Joe at all tbh, that is why people say he didn't travel to much , yeah no wonder,he would guarantee to sell out an arena in his home country , and the English fans didn't came out for Joe's fight until after Hatton lost to May weather, so he was like the UK's last hope at the time and Joe beat Lacy and Kessler for undisputed supermiddleweight and that's when the whole world outside of Wales stood up and recognised him as a legit Champ and pound for pound at the time top five,but in Wales we always rocked with him from day one 💯😎✌

Marciano beat old Heavyweights and old Light Heavyweights during his title reign,and had no young talented guys to expose him.It's not his fault that those were his only legitimate challengers. He has got to be one of the most overrated boxers of all-time.

@@jeremysipes44 Obviously, Marciano beat everyone he faced and as you said it was not his fault who was active in his time. That said, this guy never fought one guy that would compared to the guys that Rocky beat and he lost several fights and got KO'ed The only thing similar is the skin color and I get so tired of people comparing all white guys to each other.

Well who was neither mead the British champion certainly not a nobody

Meade was on a great run and had a reputation as a world class puncher. Meade did win the first fight when David was 19 controversially, but respect to both fighters. Regarding Bruno, after Floyd Cummings had him out on his feet and hurt badly and Pearce had KO'd Albert Syben in 1 rd at the Royal Albert Hall, Terry Lawless was quoted as saying they wanted no part of David Pearce because of the risk he posed with his toughness and punching power. It was also a known fact that the cartel tried to sign Pearce to fight ST Gordon and bring him to Cruiserweight. But more importantly he was a gentleman and an inspiration to so many which is proven by his statue and the registered charity that supports the advancement of amateur sport and has up to now raised 130k plus since it's inception. #WelshRocky #NewportsRocky #TheDavidBomberPearceLegacy

What exactly is nonsense? Mediocre, compared to who? Did anyone ever pay to see you, specifically you?

@@andrewgibbs7279 Totally agree, what Pearce achieved against all the odds and giving height and weight away, with no real promoter and with his father was remarkable.

@@thewelshrocky-davidbomberp1224 i remember him he was a big puncher i spared with him in Vancouver Canada, God bless 🙏 him it's a tough world we live in.

@OC cry me a river

Surrounded by narcissists types who sabotaged his career in order to push PC (correct)Bruno.
