      Nice one mate, il have a read up on him as i don't know to much about him :ANYWORD:

      A quick glance at his record shows he fought alot of times at Anfield footy ground, which is of interest to me. Cheers mate.

        His fight against the great Benny Lynch is the stuff of legends, mate.

          Lots of decent fighters out of Belfast, mate.
          Yep, Belfast.

          Rinty Monaghan completely slipped my mind, actually. Dave Boy McAuley was born just outside Belfast so if we're going to start including fighters that were born in the surrounding areas, I feel I should be allowed to add Jimmy McLarnin to my list.

                  I don't think SRR and Patterson should count as NY boxers, as much as i'd like them to in this case. Both of them were born in different states and moved to New York in their early childhood, but would that be considered that they're from there? I only mentioned NY born boxers.

                    You're absolutely right. I saw other people put boxers on their list of who lived in their city. So I tagged along.
