I once read that as a party trick he would put a broadsheet newspaper on the floor, stand on one side and invite a member of the public to stand on the other and try to hit him. It may be an urban legend but the stories of him going unscathed during this trick wouldnt suprise me.
Actually, this was a trick of an Aussie Boxer named Young Griffo who fought in the 19th century, although he would place a hankie on the floor of a bar and dodge punches for drinks. He was a brilliant boxer but a severe pisshead so never reached the heights he should have.
