Great two posts bill and willow. I feel, like you guys, that we need to always think of context when we sum up the lives of our forebears because, for example, all my english/irish friends had dads that went to the pub nearly everyday and of the 8 of the lads and girls I knew who had irish parents all...

The movie casts him as a terribly tragic figure. He loved aggro. SRR is considered by some the GOAT. He gave SRR a hell of a time! I wondered how much better he could have performed against sugar ray had he lived a better home life....

When I watched Raging Bull around 2001 I couldn't stop laughing with diniro and pesci.
Such a great film. He goes "i don't think he likes me " and pesci goes "so what, no one likes you, you oughta be used to that by now."
Or when he accuses his rival of shagging...

You are so good at it. But it is six of one, half a dozen the other!

Spot on I agree totally!
Lewis not only fought the best of the crop but he beat them when they were peaking. Tua, ruddock were at their best when lewis beat them. Some may say tua was no good but I have seen videos of his best knockouts before lewis beat him. The same for most of his wins when...

You know something to add to your brilliant info - ali had an irish great grandad on his mom's side! He was part celtic warrior! Hence why he had slightly lighter skin just like his mother.
Years ago when I heard that bit of info I was so happily amazed! I could be related to him!!...
