Here We Go**UK & Ireland All Time Heavyweight Survey (poll NOW CLOSED)***

essex boy no problem with your list but dont agree that the louis/farr fight was close but will watch it later to double check myself

 

Do you know where its available to watch? I've checked Youtube and cant seem to find it. From what I have heard American fight fans booed after the decision so Farr must have at least put up a good fight and against a man many consider to be the second greatest heavyweight ever that must be impressive.

Here's a little article regarding the fight:

yes i have it on disc but cant remember how much but enough to make a judgement

 

It was competitive rather than close, the 13-1-1 card from Arthur Donovan can probally be ignored as he was Joe Louis' 'tame ref' at the time.

TBH I've never heard of any controversy over that fight or Farrs subsequent loses in America to Nova, Burman or Baer (Braddock was obviously a very close fight!!).

 

TFFP, there Light Heavyweights.

Close but clear from what i saw.

They showed it on ESPN classics programme Harry and Reg

I think the whole fights available

terrible card

 

I think the whole fights available



i think i have the whole fight but i am not sure. i have about sixteen of luis's fight i think

 

ah Mr Butt i forgot to mention i trade fights priarily intead of selling, so if youd rather trade for them Jofre disks it would be magic.

 

i have no way of copying disc's .i have about 500 video tapes that that i still have not copied to disc as not able too yet so my disc collection is pretty limited .most of my videos are mid eighties to mid nineties and only have written info on whats on roughly half as my ex-wife ripped up nearly all my log books:|

 

thats harsh.

no problems

 

oh and by the way this list is a bloody nightmare its so hard to decide over who rates over who when it comes to fighters of this standard:?

 

yeh it s hard and not in a good way

 

There's a classic forum for stuff like this- hence the reason why we didn't start it when it was mentioned before:think.

 

British history has a place on this board

 

:good


my son is a southpaw and is thinking of getting back into the gym he
used to liked to throw a left lead to the body followed by a right to the head then hook the body and bugger off

 

Its only one thread and its British history....
