    I'm starting to worry about that kid what with him calling Muttley out on line ,,,,,,, :-(


    Anyway moving on i'm glad there are blokes like Flamer still around with enough about themselves to devote time and effort honouring these old timers and will be waiting to see the pictures of the Les Darcy Statue after its refurb as well . Good to luck to all involved in these projects .

    Secret agent Flamengo is on a mission for me today and one that will be rewarded handsomely depending on the results.

    But yes, Flame does a lot of stuff behind the scenes for the sport and deserves a pat on the back, but would probably prefer a six pack.

    Buy him some Wild Turkey bourbon ya cheap **** now you've made it as a boxing writer , speaking of boxing writers how come there ain't any boxing writers down under with enough "Package" to ask Mundine straight out about the quality of his opponents ? Maybe you are the chosen one Leon ? i'm pretty sure Ashley can grant you an interview with Mundine . :deal

    :thumbsup Yourself Sox mate .

    "NO".

    He was asked directly and refused in a disgusting set of words.

    Very disappointing to hear that...

    ....especially as we both saw the great call to arms of champs & former champs on Lionel's day.

    I know of significant contributions that fighters & former fighters with far less in the bank have made to similar recognitions around at present eg Ron Richards & Les Darcy.
