    I wanted to see how this one went first.

    Had to start with SRR, didn't I?

    Duran would be next in the pipeline. But, it just depends on whether or not the Brit Forum, as a whole, would go for this sort of thing.

    Will wait and see.

    yeh, Lamotta i heard was getting liquor to ease the pain between rounds but still what a fight

    Gavilan is amazing on paer but i havent seen it, Turpin 2 is also a good shout as it was so 1 sided

    We'll put him after Duran.

    Even though you know I'm more of a Sandy Saddler fan:twisted:

    Not seen alot of SRR due to my lack of attention span for black and white films. I have read about him but its not the same as watching

    Wish i could add more :|


    I'm off to get some footage of him :good

    B+W isnt ideal but its worth it, actually the worst quality fights are the ones in colour that are real dark

    hes great even in B+W you will love him

    At middle yes. I think Monzon and Hagler could beat him.

    At welter its difficult to say, but you'd have to assume given how impressive he is at 160 that he's unbeatable at this weight.

    No one at WW prime for prime, but a few would at MW. Monzon and Hagler would anyway.

    Definately Ray Robinson, then I would have to go for the skills SRL, is speed of punches was frightening especially agaisnt hearns at WW. Is it classic fighters from MW down or can we have ali, and the brown bomber joe louis as well, who were very skilled as well.

    Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore at some point. Proper p4p talents that compete in any era.
