95 Years Ago Today!

Never rated Greb ,hips too small ,fought a lot of plough hands ,and his IQ was very low. :deal

 

Dempsey Dempsey Dempsey!

 

Yes, I remember it well. I was 22 and this was one of the highlights of my life at the time.

 

Brennan was from Mayo at the time, he later came from Germany.

 

actually brennan was a redneck from kentucky. he pretended to be the irish champion to sell tickets.

 

I may have been sitting next to you ringside. Too long ago to remember.

 

you know the funny thing is my grandfather was born in 1897, so he would have been 22 in 1919. He always told me Jack Johnson would have knocked out any of the fighters in the 1980s. I suppose we all think our generation of fighters is better than all the others.

 

Seamus...?



Why do you hate America?

 

What do you expect from a Lisboan?

To some extent that is certainly true.

Rightly or wrongly, it was claimed in days gone by that as the challenger you had to clearly beat the champion to rest his title from him, and if it were close the champion should get any benefit of the doubt that might exist. I think the same principle - again rightly or wrongly - probably applies when we are comparing fighters of our own generation to those that follow.

 

His ***ual preferences are really up to him, NP.

Some sort of commie nanotechnology? :twisted:
