    Good enough reason for me - I agree with you.

    Really? How long are the highlights?

    ...

    Aussie Tommy Burns
    Ambrose Palmer
    Rocky Gatterleri
    Johnny Famechon

    mate, you have no idea how much i would love to see the guys from the glory days at the old tin shed, but unfortunately i've not seen much of any of them :neutral:

    If i had to choose one it'd proboly be Ron Richards, but Patrick/Bennett/Palmer would be very very close.

    If i had to choose one fight i'd love to see above all others it'd be the Carruthers/"Mustard" Coleman rematch down at the Domain ;):good:lol:

    Great picks. I would choose Langford, and Greb as #1 and #2. These greats were in tons of fights.

    The other three picks would be Jeffries, Gans, and Jofre.

    There is enough film on Demspey.

    The Carruthers/Coleman battle that began in the pub belonging to Carruthers... climaxing across the street I assume you refer too??

    Carruthers' hotel was a safe house for after hours boozing of wharfies/unionists.. later to be treated in the same fashion by certain cops I believe.. neither gelled..

    I have Patrick vs Burns complete, as well as news reel footage of most others.. Bennett, Sinn, Richards, Henneberry, Barnes etc. etc.
