    Footage of the underrated Tommy Burns speaking, the smallest heavyweight champion.

    Interesting to see.

    Seems a modest, classy and well spoken guy.

    It’s actually interesting to hear people from the real early boxing era speak. Normally you associate them with grainy fight film or stills or even their fight records but forget that they were living, breathing, thinking people just like us.
