Reg Gutteridge from the UK was 'old school' funny and made boxers and his listeners giggle.
I don't think he liked Chris Eubank's fancy ways and when Eubank used to vault the ropes he'd just say 'the ego has landed.'
When Berbick got blitzed by Tyson he described Berbick looking like 'a huge toddler in a playpen.'
Gutteridge also had a false leg (courtesy of a German mine) and used it to considerable comic effect.
He apparently was having a crap and very difficult night-out with Sonny Liston - with Liston being vile, borderline threatening - and decided to bring things to a head by shocking Liston a bit.
So he approached Liston and told him that he was not so tough and that he should have a good look at what being properly hard was about - Reg picked out an ice pick from a champagne bucket and stabbed into his false leg. A shocked Liston lapsed into complete, gobsmacked silence.
