    I used to know somebody who fingered Herbie Hide's girlfriend in a nightclub once in Norwich. He was warned off by several people, but carried on and got away with it.

    Mick Leahy, fought some very good names indeed. Even decent fighters have children who have neighbours

    Yes,Mick Leahy.Remember this.Id think you still would have to be good to beat Robinson even in decline.Mick had some great fights with Wally Swift,who recently died and was a top boxer also was a globetrotter who fought anybody.Bet he was a character also.

    He may not be a pro boxer but I did beat Mark Smith in a old school one on one, Mark went on to represent England in K1, Im not bragging too much because we was 14 and the chances are he would batter me now.

    Not strictly on topic but my Grandad witnessed Rocky Marciano knocking someone out in a pub in Swansea. Apparently the bloke had been lairy all night offering out anyone who looked at him, the guy walked confronted Rocky pushing him in the chest only for Rocky to spark him unconscious with one punch.

    True story.
