Moustached UK Boxers

[forcefraser]

For years now I have found the solo tache (tache without beard compliment) very disturbing.

Usually the choice of the military, police or Buftie boy, the solo tache is a complex animal. There is no logic behind it, it serves no useful purpose and surely must be a cover for some deep rooted sexual issues.

That aside, one rarely sees a modern day solo tache in the ring, especially in the UK. Are there any top ranked fighters who have chosen the lonely path of a solo tache? I cannot think of any.

John Conteh used to have a brillo pad tight cut modest trim version back in the day and Appollo Creed had a beauty, but he wasn`t a UK fighter.

Alexis Arguello had a slight porn droop tache, but again, he wasnae British.

Please put my mind at rest and confirm that no top UK fighters today have the solo tache. If by some chance there is one out there, do furnish me with his e-mail address or twitter account, so that I can solicit a harsh mail highlighting the error of his ways and put him on the path to recovery.

What's a 'buftie boy'?

What's a 'buftie boy'?

Someone who get`s their back door smashed in on a regular basis. A burglar of turds, a ham jockey, a gardener who likes to plough uphill, a lifter of shirts, a biscuit basher, a man who likes to have his tea towel holder breached.

Lee Selby.

Of yesteryear I give thee Lloyd Honeyghan?

I saw Brett Fidoe on some show & he had one going on. On the international front Leo Santa Cruz was wearing one Saturday on the Mayweather undercard.

Like you I agree they are unacceptable!

The thread was initially about the solo tache and it`s place in modern boxing. The left wing brigade have hijacked it and turned it into a discussion on anal banditry.

Lee Selby is a good call. It is a single tache, although very much in the Conteh style. It is not a full on squaddie half rat.

[mickey1975]

Both Selby's have got them! McGuigan and Paul Sykes used to have great ones.

[TJ77]

Its only a matter of time until the Mersey side fighters return to their fashion roots .
Bellew and Pricey and the Smiths all will at some time in their life have too grow a musssyy eeerrrmmm its scouse law liiiike.

Don't blame the OP for the Gay connection Freddie god bless him has cemented the moustache as a symbol of a mans fondness for buggery.

James Cook had a huge 'tache.

Sven Ottke rocked the tache for a while.

[youngrell]

Joe Calzaghe rocked one in one fight, maybe Manfredo? Poor it was too.

It was indeed poor. Although I believe he had a slight beard compliment, so not a solo tache per se.

Right you are, I just checked. For some reason I remembered it as just the solo effort!

[revporl]

Not British, but my favourite 'tasche in a British ring was Gerrie Coetzee's when he lost to Bruno.

I always though Pierre Coetzer had the better tache myself.

The Selby brothers.

Excellent fighters, poor taste in facial hair.

The Saffa has a fondness for the tache.

[lefty]

Corrie sanders had one for awhile right?

[ShadrachSimmo]

Rocky Kelly springs to mind. Maybe Peter Buckley on his younger days.
