Incurable British boxing fans have always taken great nourishment in those few small accomplishments of their heavies, with memories of Tommy Farr's going fifteen rounds with Joe Louis, Henry Cooper KOing the then-Cassius Clay and Bruno momentarily stunning Tyson all dancing in their heads.

And Don Cockell giving Marciano a good workout.
hopkins boring my ass.

Oh you mean in the days that not even die-hard boxing fans had ever heard of him?

Both Kessler and Calzaghe are household names in UK/Denmark
I don't know about Denmark or wherever, but nobody in Britain knows Mikkel Kessler or Joe Calzaghe or pretty much any current boxer outside Mike Tyson, Audley Harrison and Amir Khan.
Boxing doesn't mean anything in Britain anymore. Your a weirdo if you watch it..
i dont thinkrooney would of allowed tyson 2 behave like that, & i think tyson was actualy a little normal & respectful before he went 'back 2 the streets' post-spinks & lost his mind
Just what we needed... another "Hatton's a bum and Floyd would own his ass" thread. There's never enough on here, is there? :rolleyes:
i watched his fights with mark ramsey, bernard paul, the guy in detroit & the guy witter destroyed & he looked RUBBISH
i doubt hatton would fight vivian harris or corrales..maybe witter though
u got 2 be jokin, hattons been duckin witter for four yrs now
every one knows witter has the style 2 open hattons face up & humiliate him. hatton leaps in but jr stands his ground & shoots counters, hes far 2 fast for hatton & 2 tough 2 hit while hatton is 2 easy 2 hit
