    Ali V Tyson - because there the to biggest names of all time to none boxing fans

    On a sidenote regards to avi, I also love Randolph Turpin too, he's my favourite British fighter of all time (Him and Benny Lynch), wished he had been managed and supported better so he could of developed more, I believe he could of been the greatest British fighter ever had he reached his potential, same goes for Benny, such great fighters could of been so much greater.:-(

    The way he destroyed Peter Kane ( altough only 19 admittedely) was incredible , it was just non stop brutal beating, it was that bad that Kane actually quit (stayed down on a knee) Kane knew he was out of his depth and could'nt beat the man, such a ferocouis fighter.

    It pisse's me off that people my age (eighteen) think Calzaghe and Hatton are better fighters than Lynch and Turpin just because there not undefeated or well known these days.

    you're right there wont be.
    if tommy was still alive, and i haven't seen him since 1977, he'd be about 97 or so.
    he said he could hear the rosin scraping brown's back when he hit the deck:roll: ?? 11 times, jesus he'd have looked like he'd been flailed
