    Joe Frazier, I always preferred him to Ali and I thought the way Ali treated him was disgraceful.

    I always thought with Ali it was just mind games, but he went way over the score with regards to smokin Joe, lost a lot of respect for him tbh.

    Eammon magee great local boxer from my area. Growing up looking at him about the place he always had a presence about him not to be * about with. As with most people who grew up in Belfast, were all Abit bonkers. Suppose it's the environment we grew up in that only Belfast people can understand.

    He was on recently on a podcast talking about his life and his son getting murdered. I knew his son from he was a kid. Great pleasent kid who had a great talent just like his father however some scumbag brutally murdered him one night with a large kitchen knife. Devastating for his family.

    Eammon has a book out, the lost soul. Worth buying just for a few quid on Amazon for anyone interested in reading. Kneecapped by the IRA, throat cut, leg smashed in, jailed and many more lows in his life. Definitely an interesting read.

    Some great night's watching Eammon and especially when he became world champion. He was just about to knock out hatyon early on in the rounds when fighting him however hatton has the ref to thank for not getting it.

    Was a fan of Thomas Hearns - first to win 5 titles in 5 divisions

    Evander Holyfield had a spell where he was virtually unstoppable

    The Great man said this about Scotland back in 1963 when he visited.

    "I am warm here"...... "I am among warm people and i feel that and react to it.When i return to the United States i will be cold again,for the people there are cold to me and have treated me badly"

    Heard a story about Zsa Zsa Gabor who was at a night club with a wealthy boyfriend, guy was complaining to the rest of his friends at their table about Listons singing and said "Who the * told this clown he can sing.. !!"

    Gabor silenced him with ... . Are you going to tell him he cant ? ...
