The Hardest Man In The Country vs The King Of The Cobbles, unlicensed boxing match, two grizzly bears, who wins? I'm going Lenny via head stamp late in the 3rd.
My mates, dad's, brothers, step sister's cousin knew Lenny. Nice chap apparently and very very funny.
The Hardest Man In The Country got dropped and stopped, KTFO, in his last two fights, the latter against a Journeyman in the twilight of his career. The Unlicensed stuff would probably suit him better.
But he wasn’t much to write home about.. 8 wins (1 KO) with 4 defeats (2 by KO) and a draw. Still, he always claimed Lennox Lewis ducked him apparently...
I can imagine Lenny would have fared much the same, which is why he just did the unlicensed stuff where you can act like a bar room brawler and get away with it. I doubt John was that skilled a fighter so whatever he had would properly get absolutely annihilated by anyone his size with a decent MMA background, he's just a big tough and naughty traveller.
