You called Tommy first.

If you hadn't already claimed The Hitman I would've happily done it, as it stands, I don't want to be a hypocrite and complain about having El Radar taken on me and then doing one on Hearns, so it's up to you.

 

GodOck :deal

 

Wallet, SERIOUSLY!

Your Frazier job was great: I was looking forward to your Tommy.

But if you're not man enough, jpab will do a great job as well :bart

 

I'm thinking of bowing out with my Augustus one, and then making a triumphant return whenever Mijares retires.

 

I said I would do him if GodOck did Leonard. As it stands, he isn't doing him.

You on the other hand made it clear you were going to do Tommy... and you're a man of your word. :deal

 

Tell you what, you do Tommy and I'll begrudgingly do Ray.

You called it first, just get it done.

 

Okay then.

I'll do Tommy after you do Ray.

 

Fair do's. I'll have it done by the end of the year.

 

Come on lads!!!

Why don't you both sort out a day to do it within the next ten. And then, on the same day, the board will get quality Ray and Tommy entries :good

As for God, he volunteered to do Benny Leonard as well, still a vital entry :good

Although I really hope Slip does Canto :deal

 

Slip better do one on Canto.

 

Come on Flea dont be lazy. Where's my Joe Gans? Also, anyone with a bit of knowledge on Jack 'Kid' Berg should do 1 on him. A comparison article of the Two 'Kids' maybe (Jack and Ted)

 

Lazy?!? I'm working on David Reid, Marlon Starling, Lennox Lewis and Saensak Muangsurin.

I love Gans, but I'm not qualified to do a piece on him IMO.

Maybe I'll ask McGrain for you, he knows more about Gans than Gans ever did ;-)

 

cheers m8. Tbh I had never even heard of him until recently. I stumbled on a thread on the Classic about the best LW ever, and many rated him as number 1. I had always assumed Duran/Benny held that honour

 

Yeah I have Gabs top 3-5.

Duran no.1 for me though.
