You must be remembering another fight. They never did show the fight, it must have been the Bugner fight, I think that may have been delayed. Those were the shit old days. :)Quote:

Then we watched Fergie and Andrew's wedding on my 12th Birthday...
You may be right you have a good reputation so I may believe you. Memphis is normally on drugs so I could not trust his memory. :)Quote:

Appreciate the offer but I don't collect memorabilia or anything like that. It would be wasted on me. Thanks.Quote:

I do miss that part of the sport...Quote:

I see boxing as a horrible cynical business. I have no heroes. Yet I love it more than I ever have. :)
Your Challenge for 2014, Sir Fenster of Saddoboxing Land, is find us boxing heroes. Do not fail us, in your Challenge, for we all need heroes.
