    Nah, did you get it? How is it? I have the Corbett book, brilliant.

    Recommend it and i'll get it.

    Some people don't think of Fitz as English, they consider him Australian. Apparently he felt this way himself...I know Pollack isn't interested in the personal side of things but did he touch upon this?

    I share your concern but he did scrape in for me. It was him or McKenzie for me, close, close. Make a list, it's hard to leave him off.

    i only just ordered it late last week so haven't got it yet but have heard great things about the author so will probably look to pick up his reads on sullivan and corbett as well.

    were there not also stories as well of fitz draping himself in a yanky doodle flag?

    Cheers! Missed out Fitz though. Shoulda been the most obvious!:patsch
    Will check Youtube for clips on Loi. Someone compared him to Calzaghe a few weeks back. No idea weather thats accurate or blasphemous.:D

    Footage is sparse.

    I'd consider him better than Calzaghe based upon what we have, but it's hard to be sure.

    Well, let me know.

    Probably. Worth keeping in mind that he was a headcase as well as a Cornishman.
