    hmmm...
    Marciano > Tyson. You know what you get from Marciano.

    Jim Braddock is a known commodity.. one of long histories finest. He's at least equal to the Chisora, Parker types, let's say, from today. He'd put some leather on them. You have the championship heart.. or you don't.

    Braddock was like a box of chocolates.

    Max didn’t know what he was gonna get. And he got got.

    :lol: :lol: Truer words have never been spoken. Jacko is the biggest clown here. I'd put him on ignore, but he's good for comedy.

    Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. The treadmill story is exactly the type of lie Trump spouts on a daily basis.

    I've just thrown an arm uppercut, I.e. an uppercut whilst keeping everything body side of my shoulder virtually static, whilst looking at myself in the mirror, so if there wasn't such a punch before, there is now.

    Admittedly, I've never seen a boxer throw an arm uppercut and I'm certainly glad no one was around to see mine ;-)

    To be fair Rez came back after, from memory, a long ban (one of multiple i believe) a very very different bloke. He'd matured immensely and McGrain, who he had given no small amount of crap, actually cited him as someone that showed things could be turned around after a break or words to that effect.

    This is coming from someone that tore into him so hard a couple of times i may have been banned if he himself hadn't been behaving so badly at the time.

    Fond memories all around actually.........we always said at work (i worked in workshops that had staff numbers over 500 across various shops and trades in one huge compound) you could write a book about this place and people simply wouldn't believe it as some of the people and happenings simply had to be seen to be believed. This place almost reminds me of that on a smaller scale, online of course.

    You found the Perry thread once, didn't you, mate? Do your magic. That treadmill story from the hairy wrist should be bumped at least once a year!!

    Is that right about Rez? Fair play to him.
