    Looks like you've got some gems on your channel. :yep

    :lol:

    Sometimes we forget Flea is a 'Roy Boy' at heart. Very quick on that, though truthful.

    Do you reckon Pea had the best LW jab of all time?

    sal, i like you. i respect you as a poster. but don't change that by pointing out roy jones' flaws.

    his only flaws were being too good, too fast and too untouchable. not sure if you heard his single. it's pretty...dope? do kids say dope still?

    Ah yes, the Renaissance Man bit he had going on there. That, fighting chickens and sub-par basketball.

    :D

    Time is an issue.

    I like to be able to sit and watch fights in full without interruption and right now that's a bit of a stretch. A lot different from being able to drop quick-replies on here from my phone just whenever.

    Is there anything more on Marcel (complete) on youtube other than the Gomez fight? I've seen the Duran fight and Arguello highlights.....

    The Gomez fight is on YouTube, just so you know. The rest, if you need, ask.

    To be honest I have been ABYSMAL with my uploads as of late. Shocking, sorry to those I've promised fights just not got round to it.

    Nah. I'm almost certain I have the full Arguello fight though, if not pretty much all of it. No reason I can't put that up really.

    Shibata, I can sort summat out, but don't want it 'out there' really.

    Well, the man did love him some Salvador Sanchez, so he can't be all bad.

    Marcel is my joint pick with jmm as most under rated featherweight of all time.

    Zurdo de Oro would have easily crushed overrated glass-jawed Marcel.:tong
