Astanley 11,465 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Did John Lyon box for st Helens or am I getting mixed up , that club certainly produced some great amateurs in the 70s/80s the Gilbodys , Steve Johnson , Tony Smart Keith Wallace etc lots of ABA titles between them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BIG G wheton machine 1,594 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 haye would keep fury on the deck he hits harder and moves faster fury doesn't have the answer to haye. I find the heavy weights getting boring now that they are all giant freaks theyre too slow. watching them klitschcos is like watching f1 when Schumacher dominated, it became boring and predictable 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
