have you ever seen a boxer in a fight out of the ring ?

[ERIC GUY]

I have seen a few,
Ritchie Evatt, was out with him 1 night, and 2 guys tried to get in our cab, he took them both out with a single shot!! that was funny tho as the gave him lip!!

when Roberto Duran was here in 89, we was out together, and a pissed up guy gave him hassle, not knowing who he was, that guy was sparked out!!

Mickie Hughes when we clubbed it, punched a few out!! he did not take shit....

seen Trevor Currie do a few guys sometimes

was at the Becket for the Honeygan weigh in when darren dyer hit him with a hammer!!
I seen too many, lol

My dad told me that he saw Gary Stretch push to the front of a queue in a chippy in St Helens and then get knocked out with 1 shot by a St Helens rugby league forward

Yeah, heard that one myself. To make it worse, I believe he was with some lass trying to impress her.

The golden rule is, boxer or not, show everyone respect - you never know who they are.

Unfortunately, some kids today confuse 'respect' with 'deference' so you get tragic cases like James Oyebola.

Most of you guys are talking about scrapping, probably tied up with old school morals.

Nowadays, a lot of young uns just don't get it and will use anything for the slightest reason. Not that I'm saying some didn't in my day...

[saturday_kid]

seen a very decent pro from round here get put on his arse, however the lad that hit him is a big fornicator n the pro who i wont name is only a light welter

[Craig14]

Didn't see it but read about it in the papers, There was a professional who was working on the door of what was the green man in leytonstone (now its an o neills) on the green man roundabout, anyway he threw someone out and punched him and killed him! He got sent down aswell! Who was that?

Gary Delaney???
think he got time for something like that....

[orbtastic]

Sounds like Gary Delaney? Former Commonwealth light heavy champ, was quite useful and heavy handed but ended up at heavyweight and his form dipped horribly.

[Craig14]

Just looked the delaney assault up, that was in woodford outside a disco! this one was in leytonstone - the boxer wasn't as high profile as Garry Delaney

[Craig14]

Can't believe i used the word disco!!! Must be getting old!

That was one big queue that night! Half the people I know were in the queue also, it was a fried chicken shop whose name escapes me. (The spicy chicken)

It is urban legend rather than myth though. The prop forward was a large gentleman named Stuart Evans who played for Wales and scared the All Blacks to death on more than one occasion. Stretchy was with Lionel Blairs daughter who he brought up from London and was showing her who was boss in the provinces. He would have got away with it 9 times out of 10 but unluckily for him. Big Stu was in the queue and asked him to get to the back, he refused and got walloped with one punch.

Hard as nails and 20 stone, even if Gary had got the first few punches in - he still would have got knocked out by this particular individual who was seen by the public at large in all the town fast food joints both night and day.

[orbtastic]

Ha.

I dunno then, sorry. That's the only one that comes to mind involving ex boxers.

Quick google says it's Mo Hussain:

[Craig14]

Didn't Ricky hatton get sparked by a local hardnut in a Manchester club?

[Manchester Massive]

Yep by a member of a large criminal family, only a young lad who did it think he's about 19 and it was side on shot that Ricky wasn't expecting

Mo held the Commonwealth lightweight title. The BBC will publish this tosh and yet don't show any fights.

[Terminator666]

On the other side dident Steve Collins do some damage to a big doorman a few years back? Think it may have been a cheap shot though.

Saw a Prizefighter finalist handle himself very competently outside the ring in a club over in Bromborugh....... He KO'd a couple of lads with single shots as a brawl kicked off!!!! I'd say his punch power looked better out the ring than in it!!! DD

you talking about brett? And what club?? The Ritzy by any chance?

Not gunna mention names but he looked handy like!!

Not the Ritzy, it might not have even been in Bromborough but was over the water like.

so we're talking about Brett. I would imagine it would have either been ritzy or avenue 52 if it was bromborough. If it was birko, then could have been a number of places.
Brett used to look after the brown cow in bebington didn't he?

Colin Jones -

He was out with his missus in a Pub in Swansea.

Welsh Rugby Player Moratti was being disrespectful to Colin and his Missus.

And I heard 2 conflicting storys................

1.) Colin punched him out with one punch

2.) Moratti - a big fit strong rugby player - punched out Colin in one punch.

I'd like to think Colin sparked Moaratti - but I am unsure - as I have heard conflicting rumours of what took place.

Coco do you know what happened ?

[FLINT ISLAND]

Also I heard a tale...........

Enzo Macc sparked out with one punch Swanseas biggest nightclub bouncer - this huge black guy named Laurence - must have weighed over 20 stone.

I find that hard to believe - maybe Enzo could KO him - but it seems a bit over the top to just knock out some huge guy on the door of Swansea main nightclub just doing his job.

[FLINT ISLAND]

Desperate Dunn is handy out of the ring.

Prince Naz isn't.

Thats my 2 pennies

I have it on good auuthority that Little Naseem would be extremely handy outside the ring. I can't repeat the story I heard but if I told you, it would suprise you all.

Ive heard a few stories about him getting filled in of guys in sheffield, but i think that is complete BS unless he refrains from hitting back, with his power he could spark 18 stone doorman for giggles.

I disagree

Some 18 stone men can fight too.

Naz was just a little guy - and he might be Koing featherweights - but some big huge rough street men weighing 18 stone is another thing altogether.

[Coco]

Moriaty is 6'6 18st rugby player etc and was a well known trouble maker in drink, he barged into Jones wife on the stairs in the Swansea Ritzy, now Oceana.
Words were exchanged between Moriaty and the 10'7st 5'8 Jones. Moriaty went for him but Colin just beat him to the punch and was laid out cold for about quarter of an hour sprawled across the stairs, people thought he was dead.

Cool

Maybe Naz is a bit hit and miss. After all Ingle picked him up after watching him in a playground fight at Pauls school
