Not a very good quality clip, but I'd never seen the guy before. As some of you will know, apparently Roy Shaw and Lenny McLean avoided this guy.

He was a nobody.

Got the mans book, I hold him in higher regard than Lenny and Shaw and yes it is reported they both ducked him

did a youtube search check out this guy

its his uncle hitting a bag, looks like a tough customer...

Pretty fast hands.

He was a nobody.

A lot of the people he fought still would have been tough guys though. Who knows, maybe Mclean and Shaw did dodge him. It seems unlikely, but you never know.

thanks for this paul

anyway the first clip i posted was bartley, not his uncle. that was a bad mother****er if he could throw hands like that at 51 years of age.

u can even see the little gypsy caravan in the background, lol.

just like on snatch

dude.

that old man is a bad mother****er!!!!! look at that right!!!

quadruple lazy jab following by the right cross was ****in beautiful...i learned a little bit from watching this guy.

that right hand better known as the "bullhammer" Bartleys signature punch, a right to the temple

A prime Bartley would beat both Shaw and Mclean imo. Shanus is only hating on Bartley because I "bum" him, I give my props to both shaw and mclean, but Bartley was from what I've heard a monster, and that vid shows you even at 51 he could ****ing bang

yes yes, "King of the Gypsies" by Bartley Gorman with Peter Walsh - one of the best books i have EVER read , an utterly exceptional man in and out of the ring /car park/pub :boxing:

yes hedfoniqs, I've ready his book Mcleans and Roy Shaws and his was far and away the best of the three, I actually felt sad when I read at the end he passed away

i shed a tear myself mate , never one for weapons despite being attacked with guns/ iron bars /knives - he was strictly one on one , the man had a big heart and big balls . . and like his daughter said , he managed to achieve what he did cos of the proud love he had inside him , he werent full of hate ; )

think i'll give the horse liniment a miss tho . . :tapedshut

I wish he did get a shot at Hughie Burton as a young man, from what I read they were the two top men of their respective times

Lenny would have slapped him about like the red headed step child Bartley was.

Seriously dude shut the **** up

shanus , keep your pantyhose on son, Lenny and Bartley never felt the need to test each other so whats gettin you so moist? and wtf is all the redhead dissin about . . he had red hair cos of his celtic roots ; its like insulting an african for havin black hair or a scandinavian for being blond ??!!

Bartley was a *****, his book was a fallacy.
