I wonder if Lee was a relative of some sort, unkle maybe or am I clutching at straws. Would make them an illustreouse boxing family, imagen christmass dinner if things kicked off round the trukey (as they often do in my house hold) there would be a hughe fight and they would all loose whilst doing enough to strech there opponents

Cheers mate

I don't think people appreciate the role of such journymen in the sport of boxing in terms of not only saving many a show but also being incredibly useful in the development of young fighters.
