Thereā€™s a book called 4 kings about Leonard, Hearns, Hagler and Duran.
Well worth a read, boxers bring out the best in each other and itā€™s what makes the great eras, heavyweights in the 70s, Midfleweights in the early 80s, British super middleweights in the early 90s,
I havenā€™t watched a fight in years, donā€™t know if Iā€™ll ever do it again

Fraser had decent record versus Ali, Ali good against Foreman, Foreman knocked out Fraser in the first round.

Haggler holds a grudge as well as MJ. The very best canā€™t let go of slights.

A cracking match, end to end stuff in a game Galway weā€™re given no chanceā€¦ Farragher with 2-9,Healy with a hat trick and Tierney with a few class individual pointsā€¦ Should have won the final that yearā€¦

Healy lived off that performance for the next few years.

Thatā€™s a fact. A gas man to have a few pints withā€¦ Loose enough :rofl:

Would not be better worrying about the culture of rape, dog fighting, gay porn, cheating, criminality and child abuse that seems to be rife in Tyrone?

Just spent an hour watching this. Brutal stuff, especially considering the heat and humidity in the arena and the fact it was fought at 10 a.m. in the morning.

Were well beaten in final mate.

Almost hard to watch. Two men shouldnā€™t be able to do that to each other. Literal superhuman toughness on display

Oh ya I know that. We never turned up
