    Yea Jimmy Mac was something special and I just wish we had every second of the fights between him, Ross and Tony.

    Mike, man he's the ****.

    Fancy doing a top 50 LW thread with me? I've been working on it for a few days now, just in between breaks at work. I think it'd be really interesting if a few others pitch in here and there, and TBH, it's really ****ing hard.

    Also, saying the names Ross, Tony and Jimmy together sounds about as common as you can get. I've seen lads group chats with that exact name sheet.

    I'll chip in here and there but Rummys survey took a lot out of me.

    I go through phases with boxing history study and right now I'm more trough then peak.

    But I do love the lightweights tbf, easily the deepest division in boxing.

    I think I'll drop a top 15 I'm happy with, list about 45 names which could go in, and let people do some of the maths for me.

    Could work excellent, could be a shitshow. Guess that's the luck of the draw.

    Yes he certainly was. He was a heck of a trainer also and a very funny guy.

    They pit each other against actin' like two legends can't co-exist. I would have loved to see a fight between the two.
