    The thing I had was ITP. The I stands for Idiopathic which basically means they have no ****ing Idea what causes it. At one point I had less than 10,000 platelets per whatever the hell the measure is. Normal is between 150 and 300 thousand. Basically If I had had a car crash or any king of head trauma I would have Haemeraged and snuffed it.

    Appently it is only supposed to be possible to get it once but I had 3 bouts.

    Like I said all good now. Although supposedly it leaves you with a slightly weakend immune system.

    Sorry to hear about yours don't sound like much fun.

    Just drink plenty alcohol as it thins the blood. As good an excuse as you likely to find!!!

    its a fair point but the question was:eek:ne boxing injustice,and there were many many great black fighters who were **** on.were would you start ?? tom molyneux,tom cribb or peter jackson or later with harry wills and then the murderers row.
    personally i'd like for ezzard charles to have got a crack at the middle-weight title.:good

    ps herol graham was seconds from winning that title.

    For a fighter to turn around in a split second almost certain defeat was brilliant and shows why this sport is so great.

    And Herol wound not get half the threads he does if he had won a world title.

    Aside from the great ones already posted, I'm gonna say the early cut that Barrera suffered against Khan, would love to have seen how that fight would have panned out

    That's a good one. It still wrangles with me to see Barrera's name go on Khan's record like that. It wasn't a fight and to let a damn legend continue till they could go to cards was a disgrace and oh who was the ref again???....oh yer Mr Parris.

    Why was that?

    He was phenomenal, he really was.

    Louis would have won that fight if it continued, would have won on points as long's he won all the last rounds.

    Ezzard Charles would have trounced the MW Champ at the time.



    One thing I hate is hearing people say Kirkland Laing was the best British fighter never to win a world title. Was he **** he was some talented junkie who was a good fighter on his day but not world class. He beat a fat Roberto Duran and hes praised like he beat a prime Ray Robinson.

    It would have panned out pretty much the same. MAB was shot, great match making from Warren, MAB was getting outboxed anyway and would have just taken a sustained beating.

    That 'long interval' that never was and allowed Henry Cooper to propagate the greatest British boxing myth of all time for the last forty-odd years.
