    I was barely born when he died.:yep
    Regardless, watched alot of footage of his matches years later & am a bit of Latino boxing buff, so i have read & watched alot of things regarding his untimely death.
    How old were u by the way when he died...15??? :think

    Its about favorites ash...people like what they like. Why would I make any comment on that?

    I could tell you your following a **** weak choking football team but that wont change your horrid taste in rugby league teams will it?. :lol:

    Its not a competition for the best list ash..settle down..but if it was you would lose.
