    I really like Laz's Amir Khan one(yes Laz, you vote for Augustus and I'll shamelessly ditch my principles).

    I take it we can do more even after this is over? I want to do more but nothing really captures my interest. I've been looking into Cleto Reyes but there isn't an awful lot of information on him/them. Anything ''different'' will suffice for me though, I suppose.

    That's a good idea.

    I've got another 2 entries planned (3 if you count Tyson part II) but I'm in no rush :yep.

    All I know is, the guy who wrote the articles on Jimmy Wilde, Ezzard Charles, Jimmy Bivins and Jersey Joe Walcott is an absolutely terrific writer!

    Seriously, I'll have a good peel thru these and come up with an answer. Mand, perhaps it's best if we give our top 3 posts, then we can have a points system. Choosing 1 article will be very tough

    My vote goes to the Matthew Saad Muhammad piece. Basically, this introduced me to Saad and compelled me to go and dig out as much footage as possible on him, terrific story.

    There are so many good ones though, it's a terrific resource and is only getting better.
