Also herd it from a few other people too.

They (the Adams) used to rent their name out to other criminals & gangs because of the reputation and fear it commanded. As well as having out 'n out nutters and hard cases and corrupt politicans; coppers on the pay roll. Even the Jamaican crack dealers that lived in Islington The Yardies worked for him. He also had hundreds of little scum bags just like that 21-year-old your talking about also working for him as well on the North London estates. All trying to impress him. He's worth (or was) over £250,000,000 mil. He didn't get there by chucking hot sugar in people's in faces in a cell or mugging 'ol ladys. You owed him money and you didn't pay ...lol

So what would happen, if you took Sykes, Mclean, that gypsy fella Gorman, etc in some kind of prizefighter?? Anyone care to speculate who'd win?

Hard to tell but McLean, Gorman etc never fought as professional boxers (although Roy Shaw admittedly did at middleweight). Sykes, on the other hand was a British title challenger and had a good amateur pedigree, so I would back Sykes under Queensbury rules.

Sykes might be entertaining on Youtube in a sort of manic way but there is no doubt that he was a very dangerous and nasty piece of work in reality.

I bet most was "tongue in cheek" half the time with people like Sykes and McLean Beating up sharks and being unbeaten in 1000 fights lol. It's like when you have a beer in a Weather Spoon's pub with your Grandad and his mates, listerning to the old boys' war stories; them telling ya about knowing the Krays. Half of what they tell ya is probably 'porkys' but it's still fun to have a chat 'n listen to 'em still. Big pinch of salt though.
