    I wasn't really going to do it. I was just trying to ruffle your feathers....

    Lol, I’m not even a Jimmy Young fan. Just wanted to start looking at some boxers that I don’t look into a lot nor do I feel they get much discussion. Cheers

    :eaea: Now, only when the boxer is in need of or deserves overdue appreciation. You wouldn't be equating Jimmy Young with Roy Harris, are you?

    It doesn't. But I'll make a deal with you, ...I'll consider a Roy Harris Appreciation thread when you do a Jean Pierra Coopman Appreciation thread.

    "like a thief in the night" that's classic! Beautiful ! Was thinking, its not how many losses a guy has to inferior boxers, I think its more important how many wins or close fights a guy has with the best fighters that shows his talent.
