    I think you were wise to go the way you did with them.If you had written what different sources had told you about particular events on a given day, you would be bound to get contradictory impressions/opinions of what took place. That doesn't mean anyone would necessarily be intentionally "adjusting the facts", time and memory play tricks on us all. But you could have opened cans of worms with scenarios where one guy said ,"that bitch was knackered after its first run,"" that was a run hare"," it was a kick up on plough"",I've seen it jack" , " the dog didn't catch its second hare" and

    Thats my take on it, its his body and his life. If he felt he was living a lie then its the right decision for him. All the best to him .I must say I'm pleasantly surprised to see most on here have the same attitude towards him.

    I have a white saluki lurcher called Django he was named after Django Rheinhardt,[ the gypsy guitarist ,] long before that film came out.I never thought the name was "gay ," perhaps i don't have finely tuned ," gaydar"?Did he catch many hares Inan ? Since it is illegal to course hares I haven't run him on them.

    An honest appraisal ,to be truthful the field looked half fenced in ,I though the dog might have picked up a while earlier.

    Thats your opinion I'm referring solely to boxing btw, my opinion is that todays fighters are inferior skill wise to the previous generations I mentioned. I've asked several times for examples of improvement in skills,so far no one has answered my question. If your premise is correct then todays champions and contenders would beat yesteryear's would they not? It's therefore strange that no historian or accredited boxing writer holds that viewpoint. Wonder why that would be? I never claimed modern boxers were technically better. just that they're much stronger,faster,fitter

    I think the pink nail varnish you had onTegan when we did that job was a bit over the top, but," different strokes".

    Only at heavyweight in my opinion. Nicolai Valuev is the tallest and heaviest heavyweight champion he is also one of, if not the worst. Jack Dempsey once sparred with a boxer named Big Ben Wray he was 7'22 300lbs, Dempsey hit him on the chin and broke his jaw in two places with one punch.We know what he did to Jess Willard who outweighed him by58lbs and was 6" taller with an 85" reach .Louis regularly kod huge men ,Simon , B Baer,Carnera etc.Joe was 6'1.5"and at his best, around 200lbs. Bigger does not necessarily mean better. I was talking in terms of divisions not

    Only at heavyweight in my opinion. I'd say definitely at heavy,but also to varying degrees at every weight. Outside of heavy modern fighters on top of that have much better speed and conditioning. You use Calzaghe as an example but even a fighter like Hatton would have had an unheard of work rate. Which of Wlad's challengers do you think had better speed and conditioning than say Ali's challengers? Do you think Hatton's work rate is higher than Henry Armstrong's ,[ retired in1945,] or Beau Jacks,[ retired in 1955?] And those guys were fighting an extra 3 rounds. Armstrong

    You didnt answer my question so I have to assume you haven't seen many fights or fighters of the decades I mentioned .That being the case I have to say you aren't qualified to make the comparison you so are so confidently making. If Hatton fought 10 times a month his career would last about a year because he was always much to easy to hit. He relied totally on offence. Compare him to other welter champs? Ok name ONE great welter champ he could beat? To put Hatton, a very good entertaining fighter whom I watched get sparked by Pacman as I sat In Molly Malone's Phuket, drinking

    Bet you're glad you came on now aren't you?

    Higher work rate than who? More explosive than whom? Speculation? Have you actually watched Armstrong and Jack? Montgomery,Bolanos,Williams, and several hundred others On what do you base your opinion? If size and strength were the be all and end all Carnera,Willard and Valuev would be all time greats , but they are not ,they're probably the three worst champions at the weight. How many fights from the 30's 40's and 50's have you seen to base the judgment that the modern greats are faster, stronger, and have a higher work rate? The top ten heavyweight contenders are

    Top ten what? P4p or at heavyweight? I can see a case for excluding him in p4p ranks but not in the heavyweight division,and without being rude I would not give any credence to anyone who thought otherwise.

    No ,I dont think I would,I would expect Joe Louis to have a field day with Wlads contenders.

    I cant lie i didnt read the entire article but i did watch the clip as i love them old fight films......in terms of fitness this clip is a perfect example......look how the styles of fighting are so much different to today,theres virtually no head movement,no jabs,very flat footed.....fights of old going 40/50 rounds dont encourage high work rate I keep using Calzaghe as reference even though i am certainly no fan of his or his style.....but he is the perfect example of what im talking about.....his intensity and movement would not have been possible for 12 x 3 minute rounds in bygone day
