    No way!? Didn't think you'd be old enough for some reason I always pictured you as being about 27 or something haha - where'd you meet him?

    :eek:ld:yikes:wtf :lol:

    66!?? Haha I was stretching it saying I thought you and Mendoza were like maybe 20 at a push haha

    Yeah he fought a couple of fights at Nottingham near me I think but some old geezer propping up the bar at my old local (about 20 years ago) told me about him going in there a few times back in the day aswell as showing up at the local dog track aswell - just said he was the size of a barn door haha

    Gains worked down on the Isle of Grain on the original contract. My Dad knew him slightly, said he was a very nice guy.
    When I spoke to him he said Dempsey was fearsome, I remember asking him about Carnera, he just laughed.

    You are a sad and cankerous old man. Please show me where I said Gaines was ducked from a title shot? It's not there.

    Making things up to make yourself feel better? Knock yourself out Mcvey.

    PS: Usually you reply back all day long. Not today. Perhaps you are a tad upset with the election results in the UK :hi:

    :huh
    Upset!
    I was in the local Conservative Club drinking Taittinger Champagne out of a fluted glass and celebrating:happy

    Why did you mention Gains, it is Gains, not Gaines,
    he was totally irrelevant to Louis career?

    Please show me where I posted that you said Louis ducked
    Gains?
    You really need to get someone to read the posts for you.:nono

    Here's the original post.

    "Mendoza says Louis did not give black boxer Larry Gains a title shot, he is correct.

    The question is did Gains deserve one off his record during Louis's reign?"



    Another arrow of yours that missed its target:oops::patsch
