    :nono

    Hes from Ireland...well according to this anyway [ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Street-Fighting-Man-Muhammad-Ali/dp/1844545539[/ame] sounds like he was born and lived in Ireland for a while from his accent.

    Ive heard of the name before, but hav'nt seen him fight...though then again its not like theres any official rankings in bare knuckle boxing...wasnt Bartley Gorman supposed to be the bare knuckle champion...and Lenny McLean?...i dont see how either of them would have beaten Bartey Gorman to be honest.

    Agreed makes me skeptical of his record.

    it jus seems like hes the only one talking about it noone has ever seen him fight or says anyhtin about his fighting apart from himself surely if someone went 114-0 in any era in any sport people would know about it#??

    Exactly it does seem bit like something of a joke, I remember a bloke bringing out a video on youtube and making a book and distributing it. Won 300 streetfights and beat Mike Tyson and died twice :rofl.

    I only seen the one where he was stamping on someone...pretty brutal...but not seen any of his other fights...would love to see some Bartley Gorman fighting vids...i think the bare knuckle fights only started getting recorded fairly recently...even of those very few are on youtube or anywhere public...mostly just un gypsies vcr collections.

    :yep
