Just in the last 6 months, he’s beaten AJ for the world heavyweight title, made his professional football debut and enlisted in a war with a nuclear superpower. Fast becoming one of my favourite ever

Was in the barbers the other day and the fight got mentioned on the radio, and the lady cutting my hair says ' Thats a disgrace letting him still box, he must be about 60 '.

I went to Liverpool Stadium to see Horace Notice fight Noel Quarless in a British Title eliminator in 1985, and Frank Bruno was in attendance. During one of the earlier bouts I made my way down to see

It is only when you do a bag workout that you realize how incredibly fit these lads are. Treadmills bore the shit out of me but its too slippy to run outside. I tried it and managed 4 x 1 minute rounds and by the end was barely tickling the bag. Nothing fancy  just left right, left right. Totally goosed. And bags don't punch back.

The Loneliest Sport

 

'Ken was a different fighter for me. I could tell he had the potential right away to eventually become the heavyweight champion of the world. He was a marine and a tough son of a b****. He had a different style, and you had to mix it up with him to get close and throw a good punch. He warned me off pretty good and gave me a lot of problems in the gym. I tried to take him out, but he had a laid-back style; his right hand stayed up, but his left hand stayed down. And he was bouncing in and out, whereas I was always coming at him. He was a very good fighter and was not an easy guy to hit.

 

This was the kind of guy Yank wanted me to beat. His style was so unique. He was more of a counterpuncher. We worked together and sparred, but that's as far as I wanted to go with him. In training, I only wanted one round with him. Eddie or Yank might have wanted two or three rounds, but I only wanted one round with him. There were days I called in sick because I knew I had to spar with him that day. I didn't want to fight Ken; I wanted no part of him.

 

He wasn't sure if he could kick my a**, and I wasn't sure if I could kick his a**, so we just remained buddies and never fought each other. We figured that unless the money got to that breaking point, it was best to remain friends. It would have been a rough fight, and I don't really know if I would have won; but let's just say I probably have a little more use of my brain today because I didn't have to fight Ken Norton.'

Just looked up the Journeyman's record. He's been beaten 96 times!! That can't be right

 

Life of a journeyman. 

He loses professional,its all about going 4-6 Rounds. Don't get stopped and do the same again in 2/3 weeks.
