I apologize (erm, I mean, apologise ;)) for the rudeness of my countryman and fellow poster Grimm - I'm afraid Grimmykins has had a rather rough week, what with his fave fighter and object of his nocturnal fantasies, Tired Ike Myson getting lots of (IMO well-deserved) stick in the Mike Tyson-ooh-baby-yes-Mike-Tyson thread on the BotP forum.
Once again, if Grimmy were feeling his normal self, he would be apologising unreservedly for his unforgivable rudeness above, but since Grimmy is feeling Grumpy I thought I'd do it for him.
I think Grimm would rather be feeling Mike Tyson rather than himself!... 8)

...but since Mikey's off making a boxers-in-prison movie, Grimmy has to content himself with feeling up one of the seven dwarves! "Now Grumpy, no need to be Bashful ... come and sit on uncle Grimmy's lap..."

I think Grimm is related to Terap. Shows all the signs! 8)

Another wind-up? I do hope so.
I have an interview on tape where Mike Tyson whom you claim is the most highly skilled Heavyweight ever is praising and stating his admiration of the GREAT fighters from England such as Jack Berg and Ted Lewis.

It should be remembered that Britain and England in particular is a mite smaller them America hence the fact that more champs have emerged from the delighted states... all in all I think we have produced quite a resonable number of outstanding fighters and ofcourse we did actually start the game off ourselves so there! Grimm, go back to your fairytales!!!... 8)

He spent most of career in the USA fighting their very best and with some sucsses.
He was definately one of our greatest... from what I've read he was robbed twice against Abe Attel in bouts for the World feather weight title, koed by a low blow by Ad Wolghast when fighting for the world lightweighttitle and he was not much more than a beefed up Bantamweight. Jimmy Johnstone a renowned American fight manager said in around the 50s that Moran was the greatest British fighter he had ever seen.
I'll throw another name into the hat and this one's from way back in the London Prize Ring days: Daniel Mendoza, the Spanish/British Jew from Whitechapel, who was the best fighter of his time despite only being a junior middleweight by today's standards. He may have been the first scientific boxer and was reportedly the true inventor of the 'D'Amato Method'.
