    Larry Foley, Bare-Knuckle fighter era through to MQ rules........ !866 to 1910...... almost went into a 6th decade................ what a bludger,,, I think he could have at least done another 10 years..... LOL.... I'm just joking but a 44 year career is beyond extreme.

    Oops. OK. Heading back to general where I belong:oops:...Sucks though. Don't know boxing history before the mid 80s so I can't converse in classic but nobody in general actually wants to talk about boxing:-(

    Stay and learn.

    There is usually plenty of talk about the 80s onward.
