Hindsite is a far more powerful tool than the adrenalin and emotion of real time mate i couldnt bring myself to throw blame in any direction i love the sport too much to do that.......ive heard people blame the corners of both men,as well as the referees......................i try to look on the positive side and say they were 2 men of unquestionable fighting spirit who paid the price for how God made them..............as in any sport you have to learn from tragedies and take steps to prevent them in future and if protecting a man from himself is the only way to go then so be it. Would you bl

What i always liked about Frank was he set himself a goal and didnt stop until he reached it...............realistically there was no real reason why he should of reached that goal because he wasnt blessed with bundles of talent like some are........but his determination to succeed eventually got him the ultimate prize and he deserved it.
-
He fought Honeyghan for the European must of been 84 or 85.... in training for it they often turned up at the same gym Bobby Neil would often phone over to make sure the coast was clear ........Mittee was such a laid back sort of chap yet Honeyghan was the complete opposite he could start a fight in an empty room.
-
That was a couple of years before he did Scum then he turned into a right mincer ....................nah good boy Winnie still see him down the Hammers from time to time.
-
im not that old !!
-
Middle row left is Mittee.......Middle row centre is indeed Ray Winston who boxed for England several times...... top left and right were both aba champions.......the Donny Osmond lookalike is Terry Barker father of Darren........next to him is Bobby Flint good little fighter his brother Jimmy was a good pro.......not sure who the little weirdo on the bottom right is ! Editted to add....i have another similar picture with Dennis Andries i didnt realise which one was up here for a minute .....my apologies no world champion

Are there specifically made heaters for bird rooms or aviaries ?........Or do most folk not bother.........im convinced by birds are cold and just wondered if theres a special type of heater ??
-
Had my daughter round today so got her to put a pic up......this is why im too embarrassed to post any .......this sorry looking bunch was from Repton abc 1976........the one in the middle row on the right is me looking like a trainee serial killer .......theres a few other reasonably well known kids dont know if anyone will recognise them.......theres an ex world champion,a few aba champions,the father of a world class fighter, an ex heavyweight villain ( Tuffty you may possibly recognise him as your from the manor.....not to say you keep that sort of company of course )....a universally fam

Comparing guns shops ......that sell guns............................to bars......that sell beer......................interpreted however you like is a bit of a daft comparison !
-
Did Calzaghe ever have " a battle " ?.........I remind you of what he said in his book ......words that got the backs up of fighters in gyms up and down the country at the time....... " i would never have taken part in fights like those that finished the careers of Mcllellend and Watson "
-
Yeah but you shoulda seen my barnet
-
I find that a pretty bizarre comparison..........the idea of drinking in a bar isnt to get in a car and kill people...........is having a gun under your pillow a social activity !!..... Far as im concerned them yanks are a pretty scatty bunch........was listening to some mush on the radio today saying the best way to combat the problem is to arm teachers .................only in America !
-
Another old Royal Oak/Beckett fighter Mugabi.........no fan of a bar of soap either
-
I didnt have you down as that old Brookie.....certainly a great fight i once heard it said about Leonard " he is the best at nothing but second best at everything "...always thought it was a good description.......if im not wrong that fight was the month before Ali,s last fight........they said at the time it was the best and worst the sport had to offer !
-
I dont burst bubbles mate i just blow them .......nice clip that.... well in Frank.
-
Mine have fled the nest and my mrs is thick as arseholes ...anyway nothing to rant and rave about just a bunch of sweaty geezers trying to look hard
-
In 7 odd years coming on here ive never posted a picture mate im not that computer savvy ......good job really most of them are embarrassing
-
Totally agree............only a complete fool,or someone so wrapped up in hero worship could possibly put Joe Calzaghe,s name in the same sentance as Ray Robinson........and keep a straight face !!
-
X2 .......Been reading this thread with interest looking forward to seeing the inhabitants !
-
I did indeed......and a few others Funso Banjo,Trevor Curry......and the one who hit harder than all of them was Horace Notice but he wasnt quite big enough......Horace was like a smaller version of Bruno if he,d had a bit more size to him he,d of been a top fighter in my opinion......Bruno and Mason with the big 12 ounce gloves on even if you blocked the punch they could still get you over.......it was a strong gym back then Andries,Kaylor,Watt,Pyatt,Magri,Jimmy Batten,Honeyghan,Laing when he felt like it !
-
You said it mate .......................i replied before id seen yours.....and i dont think you can delete stuff once you,ve posted it or i would have
-
Any fighter will tell you calendar years will not show as much wear and tear as miles on the clock do...............Benn and Eubank had far more miles on the clock than Collins did when they met.
-
If fights are there to be made,money,venue and timing being right......they usually get made.......im sure Calzaghes father would defend his son the same as im sure Jones father would defend his...........i dont know for fact one way or the other im just going on the assumption that top fighters usually get top names if they really want them...........and harsh as it sounds Joe Calzaghe never fought a top name........i find that a bit of a coincidence ......and they are not digs mate i wouldnt have " digs " at any pro fighter im not like that.........its just talking boxing thats all. At the

No Gary was part of the Royal Oak with Terry Lawless i first met him at Broad St gym then a few years later Frank Black and George Francis brought him to the Oak he just didnt look like a fighter he was quite soft and fleshy but he could certainly bang Frank was a physically stronger man and he had a horrible jab but when his feet were planted Gary had more sting in his punches...........painful memories

Hate the player or hate the game....................Harrison won Olympic Gold,he was the best amatuer fighter in the world.........yet a joke as a pro.....................................wheres the joke Harrison or amateur boxing ! Anyway....off to the Excel......come on Team Tibbs !!
