No,what was that and when was it ?....Jack was a little before my time although i was told many stories about him.As a small child my father introduced me to him after the Cooper/Clay fight which he promoted though i dont remember it at all i was too young and not jewish enough for him to pay me much attention His highlight was promoting the Sugar Ray Robinson/Randy Turpin fight which my old dad won a small fortune betting on Turpin at something like 33-1 ! About the middle 60s,Jack would show clips of old fights,his personel top tens in all weightsIt may be on the internet somewhere,the

Yes i can understand that....although i will say Frank Warren has been great for British fighters. Just out of interest i used to collect a lot of old fight films myself,as you probably know Jim Jacobs who was part of tysons old team had the biggest collection in the world at one stage,it got past down when he died and his son or gr son i forget which,sold them all off....a fiend of a friend managed to get some historic old fights that are worth a fair bit now.....so a collections always worth holding onto do you remember Jack Solomons Hall of fame,Gnasher?God help you if made a sound i
