    "Sugar Baby" Rojas
    "The Ghost with the Hammer in his Hand" Jimmy Wilde (failing that, "The Mighty Atom" was also a very good nickname, imo.)
    Jack (Kid) Berg, aka "The Whitechapel Whirlwind"
    Young Stribling, "The King of the Canebrakes"

    :goodcheers.
    i thought aussie/british/hugarian joe was older than that.
    the 2 joes were in a hell of a fight weren' they.:bbb
    when smokin british frazier put hungarian joe down, aussie joe got really angry and the fight started.it was probably euro-australian joe's best fight, no doubt, maybe.
    is henry arse hole not going ??

    Jeremy "Half-Man, Half-Amazing" Williams was a first rate nick, welld-one who thought that up

    I like David "The Terminator" Tua also, it suited him very well at the time before he got fat with that stupid "Tuaman" nick

    Of course "Iron" Mike Tyson said it all in the mid-80s also

    Aussie 'Enry hasn't been to convict land mate.. I'd love to see him here oneday, although he's a bit long in the tooth I'd assume. Just quietly, this year may very well be a GREAT reason for Aussie 'Enry to pay a visit.. Can't say anything more.. I'd dearly like to know of his own health and willingness to travel if anyone has info??

    i think the queen mother of boxing is in fairly good health despite his years of moaning about angelo dundee, harry gibbs and aussie joe.

    Maybe he'd be willing to board 'Qantas Flight 1963', ignore the slightly torn first class seat and make a trip back to the Aussie dressing room???

    Seriously, I hope he's very well and enjoying life. Love to see him here in the same room as a former opponent. SSShhhh!!
