"The next George Foreman " was a famous Maloney quote regarding Belshaw. Can only assume he has a Grill in production! ! Maloney was clearly, errm, "confused" at the time

Didn't know that about Roman. Oof.

However the first billion dollar heavyweight was actually Mathew Ellis, the tuxedo clad Stallonesque shortarse from Blackpool.

Cheers. I had plenty of those Russian Jewish mobsters in the baccarat room in Fort Lauderdale.

Scary looking bastards. Even the gang bangers knew to steer clear.

different sport but Wolves once touted a young Zeli Ismail to become the first ever £100m player.

He's now at Bury FC.....there's a lesson there somewhere.

Wasn't it Ellis that Audley was fighting, when Herbie Hide went mental at ringside?

I remember the Boswell fight. One of those times when i enjoyed watching a British fighter get beat. Other occasions have included Hamed against Barrera, and Travis Dickinson against Mohamed Chadloui.

Gang bangers? Eurghhhh I mean doing it in a room where there are other men....just....no.


Anyway, keeping on the gang banging theme, who would win if there was a three way......tournament with each guy fighting each other once over a period of time.
