Iran the blade Barclay.
Ricky Hatton use to.
Jim Wicks when asked to make the Fight with Liston replied, I wouldnt put Henry in the same Town let alone the same Ring as that Monster. ;D
I see Floyd Patterson vs Henry Cooper awhile ago, and boy Floyd Patterson did give Henry Cooper a beating. He would of been dismantled by Sonny Liston in 2 rounds, i respect Henry Cooper and he did the British proud vs Muhammad Ali, but honestly he was just a decent Heavyweight.
Who's rise to fame was one left hook vs Muhammad Ali, i heard he had a twin brother aswell, and some old guy told me once they had a fruit and veg stall and you couldn't tell them apart.
ICB, His name was George, but Boxed under the name of Jim. Good puncher but bled more than Henry. They were Twins but you could tell the Difference.
Sir Henry of course but how about Troy The Destroyer Dorsey ?? Troy got cut during the refs instructions lol. They finally discovered that it was the sharp bone above his eyes that was cutting him from the inside when he got hit. Yroy had surgery to round off the sharp edge & when healed had far less problem Nice guy was Troy
I was at that fight, it was a headbutt more affectionately known as the "Glasgow Kiss" , watt was up agains it in nutted him on the refs blindside, oops sorry about that what a mistake. Don't know that he has ever admitted it in public but I know he has in private !!
Antuofermo, Gatti, and the "Bayonne Bleeder" Chuck Wepner....These guys started bleeding when the opening bell rang....
Too late to include Judah ???
