Great pictures here Collins .
Thanks.
I remember reading that Ray Robinson said that Turpin looked like a heavyweight.
He does . Randy must have been a strong middleweight.

Thanks, ex-pug.

Yes, he looks as strong as an ox.

There is a teriffic documentary from a few years back about Randy called "90 Day Hero". Well worth a look if you ever get a chance.

i gotta thank you mr collins for these pics. absolutely fantastic.
whats the berg book called?
the wepner-ali shot is full of hilarity it could be taken at an after show party!
agree about randy turpin, very strong and so under-rated.

i read woodcocks book some years ago. i think it was called "two fists and a fortune"

(by the way that is not ad wolgast, its steve marriot lead singer of the small faces)

i'd love to know where these shots come from. the Ali skipping rope photo is lovely. if you have time collins please let us know which books they're from.
