    I'm aware of a Rumble in the Jungle. Don't know about a Ramble in the Jungle. Was someone in the jungle rambling?

    I believe it was Dempsey, Ferg. The Mauler was also our good friend Djander’s favourite fighter. I think Djanders was born about 1924/1925 but I’m not 100% sure.

    Lol, that still only = a spritely 74 yo at youngest - which is about the age our Mac is. Otherwise, at possible oldest, you’d be talking 86 yo.

    What an achievement, pug, to live to that great age.
    And still be mixing it up on here!
    He's much missed.

    Rocky Marciano. The Rock was coming up to his last defense - against Archie Moore.

    Yes hitting the 80 s and becoming a teenager in that decade, was pretty good.
    We seemed a lot more content than today's youth anyway!
