    Also, not a tribute to any one fighter, but Jimmy Wakelin's 'In Zaire' needs a mention too. I've always liked that song.

    a Scot's singer by the name of Rab (Rob) Toll, wrote one about Kenny Buchanan around 10 years or so ago.

    Somehow I missed this thread before.

    While not exactly on point, I would (if possible) include Simon & Garfunkel's The Boxer. The subject being how a guy who is down-and-out draws inspiration from a boxer who had it worse than he did but who nonetheless continues in his personal quest to overcome the obstacles in his life. I guess many of us on this forum love pro boxing as our fistic heroes are so much like the fictional characters in that song.

    A great, great song if you ignore the dubious, nonsensical, bs 'facts' that Bob 'trowels' out as 'truth'...
