Thanks to you all for your comforting thoughts and comments. I don't know why, but it makes it better for me and my thoughts about my dad that so many people have responded. Telboy66- thanks so much, as it was Friday night fights that he used to talk about. Thanks also to Legion for mentioning bob foster because my dad used to talk about what an incredible puncher he was and what thin arms he had. Also to the cockney, i'm glad the point about Ali and Leonard made you laugh because, even though he was being serious, he was a right piss taker and loved a bit of banter. Once again, thank you all for your kind words, and I'm sure that my dad is up there saying that none of you know what you are talking about, and that boxing was so much better in the fifties when top fighters fought each other more often. Sad that he was too ill to appreciate Mayweather, which I think he would have done despite his love of come forward fighters, and I know he would have loved Pavlik Taylor if he had been well. Once again, thanks.
