[edit] Boxing Style

I'm not sure what style Skelton uses. He is often described as having an unusual way of fighting but I am unsure if this means unorthodox or if unorthodox would have a specific meaning within boxing? Also I'm not sure how we can go about getting a picture to use for this that is allowed under GNU?--Wikipediatastic 13:00, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

It's usually Orthodox, or Southpaw. Left lead or right lead. Being a non-professional disaster looking fighter, like Skelton, isn't really a boxing "style" as should be used in the infobox. In this case though it seems to fit. ->Btl 02:34, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

well he is a professional boxer with a good record so i disagree with that point ; 'Being a non-professional disaster looking fighter, like Skelton, isn't really a boxing "style" but agree that unorthodox suits the infobox. As shown in his last fight again danny willaims, his technical skills have improved drastically so maybe this needs looking at again in a few months

[edit] Serious touching up needed

Please spell check your edits if you attempt to clean it up. Also, that table is a major eyesore, even after fixing half of the box errors. I don't follow kickboxing so if anyone has time, please tackle that information. I feel that it should go in the Kickboxing era section but it seems way too out of place. A link to his career kickboxing stats would be nice instead, if there is one. ->Btl 02:28, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
