    I thought Ray's bio was brilliant

    It is a great read, but he doesnt come across as the nicest bloke?

    Have you guys seen the HBO legendary nights documentaries?

    They're all part ones. You can find 2 & 3 from the links.

    Plenty of others to. Pryor Arguello, DLH Trinadad, Douglas Tyson...

    Get involved.

    Those shows are badly (or well, depending on the way you look at it) edited.

    Does he come across the same in the book?

    Loved him on Jonathan Ross recently, funny as I thought.
     
  4. I think Leonard comes across alright in the Hearns one.

    The episodes rank like the fights.

    The fight I won't mention

    Ray, by his own admission was a very unpleasant person, and he's pretty straight with it in the book. It does feel ghost written, but it's decent. It's worth it for the early years.

    That Leonard/Hearns video is amazing.

    Two truly great fighters.

    Those two *****'s in the WW division could learn a thing or two about getting it on!

    :lol:

    Well, for the perverts out there - yes. I was thinking more his amateur career, but that did make me laugh. Even if it made Sugar Ray sad.

    No. His crime was that he posted on here that he'd made audible sounds whilst looking for cool pictures at BN HQ when in fact he operated in total silence.

    Out of order from Flexen, owes Vano an apology imo, and it's quite petty to have obviously bitched about him in the office and then made cryptic references to Dan needing to apologise, real childish

    Read from page 3 ( I think), Flexen came into the thread to defend his picking floyd over tommy, and decided to lay into vano for absolutely no reason because he was obviously passed we'd called him on his view on this match up, childish
