    McClellan was a horrible ******* outside the ring but exciting as hell inside. It was him or Benn & I thought he deserved a mention.

    If I could only choose 1 fighter I'd have Locche. I can imagine him absolutely clowning Khan & making him look like an idiot :lol:

    I have to do my research on that one DM. I don't know anything about the man. I'm about to go do said research now.

    GMan was a ****ing idiot with dogs (I'm a dog lover), it's harsh to say he deserved what he got, but....

    I'm onto the research now.

    Tapia is a great call. Falls into the same entertainment category as Gatti and Co.

    Hello LM

    Hearns is a lock, my brother-in-law and me often talk of the greatness of Hearns. He was a guy who 'made people ugly'. If it wasn't for his chin and his broken hand he might have taken Hagler further than 3.

    A great choice.

    NB: Get hold of a copy of Four Kings by Kimball, might be the best ten-spot you've spent.

    Good calls, Curry got murdered by Honeyghan, mind, though it doesn't take away his greatness, just a bump in the road.

    Mark Johnson I have to do my research on.

    Whitaker, yes, Saad, yes, Hagler, obviously.

    Ali after the lay off was good!

    I'd just like to see him land on the chin of mayweather a few times.

    he could potentially clean up 147, 154, 160, 168

    A fabulous book indeed Ian.:deal
    Was quite sad when I heard George had passed away.
    I fear if a prime Marvin was around today the MW division would be absolutely dead.I actually don't think there's anyone right up to 175 who could beat him.
    Only Floyd Jnr could live with Ray and Tommy at 147.

    And it's always tempting to think how a prime Chava Sanchez would look nowadays.
