    Is that Henry Copper or his Id Twin brother?? Because that will thown people off.

    His brother was a boxer also, but lesser known than Henry. Think it was Tom.

    i seen a similar photo..or similar angled photo of patterson machen fight years ago, and it puzzled me....far as i know machen wasnt knocked down in their fight, patterson won on points....but the camera doesnt lie....was there a slip?, or an unrecorded knockdown ??

    That reminds me ,I read in the "Boxing Encyclopaedia" that Braddock and Marciano were picking Floyd over Liston.:patsch

    I think Louis was saying,"You're gonna get KTFO Biatch!!!!" or words to that effect(for all we know those may have been the exact words):yep.

    Hence the fingers in the ears. :D
