    Did Charnley ever beat Brown?

    McGowan vs Burruni is an amazing display of boxing.

    Forgot about that. They just showed Floyd Patterson-Sonny Liston there. Hopefully they show more of these fights.

    They're always showing Ali-Frazier III, Ali-Foreman and Stracey-Napoles :lol:. With the archive they've got access to you'd hope for more :-(

    Turpin-Robinson I :deal. Gaz, did anyone at the time give Turpin a chance? ;)
