    Disagree. This is another guy whose argument can be entirely reduced, without the slightest loss of substance or subtlety, to one word. This video could have been under a second long.

    I had no idea you were Scottish. Your accent is well bent mate. Perth or something?

    Haha it ain't me.
    He just used my video and did his own commentary.

    Sort of wish I had that accent, sounds pretty cool.

    Did you all watch until the end? I think the narrator embarrassed himself... 'I think he could make top fifty.... Maybe he could be top twenty today'....

    Even without the eras difference Sonny would have been a force.
    Prime 1960 Sonny (tho his prime should have been much earlier) vs.Prime 1960 modern boys?
    Prime 2000 Sonny vs. the modern boys?
    That jab and numbing left hook and right May have put the modern boys, at least, on their toes and, probably, in serious trouble.
    Had Sonny been born in 1960-1970? Jeez!
    Had either Klit (post Czarist Russia) or a prime Tyson, circa 1920, faced Dempsey at that time? Make your own call.
