    Super Greg had, had his cape pulled by them, Tillis had more life in him fighting Aussie Joe.

    Not sure what age Barry was when he arrived here, but Lester was about 5. Did all his fighting here, and was 'fairly Australian' by the time he fought Michael.

    I'm a big cricket fan...and you can have 'Roy' any time you like.

    True enough. God it was almost funny. I was telling the mate how great and incredibly talented Page was and we got a cartoon of the good old XXXX beer to enjoy this schooling. The mate was dying to see him in action. Did he throw even 5 fukking punches?!?!?! :lol:

    Just laid on the ropes and defended, nothing more nothing less. OMFG. I think i might have beaten him that night. Certainly anyone with a pulse throwing punches would have been a good show.

    The most historic fight in Wales take place in 1910 at the Westgate Street Ice Rink in Cardiff.

    The fight was between a boy from the Cardiff docks area 'Peerless' Jim Driscoll and a valley boy from Pontypridd 'Fearless' Freddie Welsh.

    The fight was extremely dirty, ugly and violent, which ended with a disqualification for headbutting.
    There was street riots all over Cardiff.

    Top five, little doubt; The Thrilla was probably #1 for the Philippines; and I am guessing Ali/Foreman sneaks it for Zaire/DOC; ditto Foreman/Frazier in Jamaica and Ali/Berbick in the Bahamas.....

    For Puerto Rico it is without a doubt Benitez vs Cervantes, Benitez became the youngest champion in history at the age of 17.

    What about Frank Bruno-Lennox Lewis? Wasn't this a huge fight in Great Britian? They fought in Cardiff, Wales.
