    Crazy too considering we've had discussions about Mike Gibbons and Darcy.

    Thanks mate, it's an amazing scene that seems impossible to do wrong IMO.

    It's just gonna' take a long hard slog to get my second language up to the standard where I'll get the most out of the fighters. Speaking it yourself gets you the most respect. Also, it's easy to jump on trains around Bangkok or bike it to different gyms and you don't wanna' pay for a translator.

    I will just hook up with some chick from the North East before I need to go up there and use her as a translator (different language up there pretty much anyway) as they're my favourite girls in the whole World :tong

    **** yes. Dillon is an utter pound for pound beast. Dude beat up hw contenders and was serious contender for Willard's title. He was the proto-Greb. Greb is Dillon plus.

    I really think this might be the last guy that we go "oh ****" on anyway. Maybe it's a good reason to screw in 101-120 before I go any further though...

    :lol: right?

    You will be mate, trust.

    Of course! Surely the best bit will be 'The Eighties' :deal ;)

    I won't lie I plan to cover Khaosai the most. I'd be mad not to, this is not an agenda-driven book, and the few people that will actuallyy buy it will want to hear about Khaosai as most people consider him an ATG and a beast and the greatest Thai of all time.

    He might well be all those things. He'll also be one of the harder guys to get hold of I imagine, still pretty famous. Samart too, but I know he still trains guys.

    I will :tong

    And ends any procrastination from me about a book that will take me the next half a decade at least to write ;)

    Tomorrow; Jack Dillon talk, and lots of it.

    Considering I forgot him for so long I'm now going to push through with this to the extreme. That he was.

    Totally cool flea I really wish you luck and hope you get it done , I really rate khaosai though his brother was technically the better boxer. As I have said before khaosai was like Michael Myers from the original Halloween films never seemed to change pace but always seemed to close the space on his victims and get the job done. Although I do admit that his opposition may not of been the highest calibre .

    If not for his own victories, Basilio will always be remembered as the man who made Chuck Davey look like a world level fighter. That may have been his greatest feat.
