Ali calling Foreman the mummy; Liston the big ugly bear; Frazier all sorts of bad stuff.

Chicken Bowe from LL really ate at Riddick, so maybe my fav!

remember Talk Sport's Jim White getting signed up then also deleting every reference to it. We know Jim, we know.

oh yeah haha, did he ever have an involvement with it in any way? Hilarious he took the money, did nothing and tried to bury any association with it.

i'm not sure mate it all came and went so quickly.

For sure, IIRC he may have appeared on Eurosport card out in Dubai when O'Shaquie Foster fought, decent pay day for doing next to nothing and not having his reputation sullied.

I can remember Naz referred to Billy Hardy as Billy Hardly

Don King (I think)described Frank Maloney as the pugilistic pygmy

Lennox called Riddick Bowe ....Ridiculous Bowe

I thought King called Maloney the mental midget? Or similar?

I remember Tom Little calling Dubois ‘the Michael Jackson of boxing’

[margaret thatcher]

cant say i ever thought of dubs as being very jackson like

a huge hulking banger rather than a little sissy feminine guy
not a smooth dancer
no known love of children
can barely get out a sentence
seems fairly laid back and normal rather than being a total whackjob

[JC]

I think he ways trying to say he was a child star with his Dad calling all the shots.

Not saying it’s true, but it was a memorable one.
