The regular article at news.boxrec.com This is a weekly thing that looks back on the history of British boxing. So far it has been restricted to great Boxing matches. But we are looking to expand it to include other aspects of history for example a bio of a fighter, effects of soemthing on British boxing etc.... Is there anything you guys want covered in it. Either post here or email This content is protected
Few people/things I'd like to know more about: Jack Solomons (the promoter) Ted Kid Lewis The great Flyweights we had in the 20's,30's,40's (Wilde, Lynch, Kane, Peterson, Brown, Monaghan etc) Maurice Hope Charlie Magri :good
Thanks Ishy I think I might do an article on the Flyweight division which would cover the Fkyweights and Magri you mentioned. Might do one on the influx of foreign fighters into Britain like Hope, Tiger etc...
I read the autobiography of George Francis- Trainer of Champions, it was a great read... I would love to see a feature on that time. Francis took huge amounts of stick when he embarked on bringing his fighters to the ring...:yep Something on them lines Greg...:good
Will do, need to get that book it seems good. sorry for the blatant self promotion by myself in thsi thread
It's a great read...the era when he was doing this was really set against everything he was trying to acheive...The success he had was fantastic...an amazing story... Very sad how the life of George Francis ended...He was around during some of the brightest nights in British Boxing...:yep
Youll be teh first people i forget [/QUOTE] Never forget that the people you pass on the way up will be the same people you pass on the way down...:good
