Just met a woman who`s descended from Jim Corbett the first gloved heavyweight champ!

If true pretty cool. She give any insight into the man.

 

You mean Jim Corbett the second gloved heavyweight champion.

You could tell her that her ancestor was one of the more interesting men ever to hold the heavyweight title.

 

Did she have a pair of his fashionable fighting togs?

 

So the family doesn't have a complete copy of the Corbett Fitzsimmons fight then.

 

nice one, Anti, always on the pulse again. Did you see any possible resemblance at all?

 

Pretty intimate for just having met. To each their own.

 

Corbett is one of the more interesting heavyweight champions, if you look at them as men, rather than as fighters.

He was one of those rare people you come across, who was two things at once.

He could out gentleman the gentlemen, and he could out thug the thugs.

 

So who had the nicer thongs Mark, her or Jim?

I'm going with Jim.

 

In all seriousness though, that is very interesting Mark.
