Here We Go**UK & Ireland All Time Heavyweight Survey (poll NOW CLOSED)***

H to H is a different matter....possibly :hey . I think that Cooper was the classier technician, but I don't think that even a prime Cooper would have been able to get Bugner out of there, and with Henrys propensity for cuts anything could have happened... Bugner wouldn't have outworked Cooper so it would either have been Cooper UD or Bugner by cuts stoppage. Cop out I know.

 

no..not a cop out...thats a fair answer.

 

You didn't have the good fortune :-( of being around to see Dunn in his pomp...he was truly awful. The title shot with Ali being the result of the habit of giving new Euro heavyweight champions an automatic go at the world title. Dunn was so far out of his depth that you would have needed a plumb line to find the bottom. Most embarrassing British heavyweight contender ever :deal

 

Awful as in genuinely awful, or awful as in brutally exposed at the top level?

By this I mean sort of John McDermott - was poor against a shot Danny Williams.... or the peak Danny Williams using the canvas as a bouncy castle vs Klitschko?

 

Its not quite as bad as I remembered, but Dunns legs going stiff as a board after being clipped by Ali is still as funny as ****....at least he tried taking it to the champ

didnt richard dunne badly break his leg or something a while ago...heard he fell of scaffolding or something

 

Seems so http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/where-are-they-now-richard-dunn-1454973.html

He was on the local news last year I think, he always comes over as a decent and likeable man

 

Farr had some good wins if you look at his record.

Went 1-1 with former HW champ Max Baer, beat former LHW champ Tommy Loughran (at HW) and KO'd Walter Neusel in 3.

Also went the distance against Louis and dropped a split to Braddock.

 

Although Braddock was a poor world champion for in those days, apparently it was a controversial decision and Farr could have won it.

 

Some say he could have got the nod againt louis...

 

lewis is regarded by many as the best heavy of all time (george foreman for one) so anyone not ranking him the best british hw of all time is talking ****

 

1. Lennox Lewis
2. Joe Bugner
3. Tommy Farr
4. Bob Fitzsimmons
5. Frank Bruno
6. Bruce Woodcock
7. Henry Cooper
8. Don Cockell
9. Danny Williams
10. Brian London

 

I've got a picture somewhere of me and Brian London....Brian is so ugly he makes me look pretty :deal

 

:rofl

At least you have a picture with a top 10 heavy according to my definitive list.

Bruce Woodcock people. Underrated IMO.
