The Boxing Thread

In light of the so called fight of the century - What do you think are the best boxing matches to take place. A work colleague recommended this one to me:

I'd agree with your colleague on that one, mate.

Two blokes standing toe to toe and trying to take each other's heads off - brilliant!

I think I've mentioned before on here that I was at Mrs B's work's Christmas do at the Ramada in Manchester when Tyson fought Julius Frances at the MEN Arena and I bumped into Marvellous Marvin.

I say "bumped into" him but according to Mrs B's Dad (Mrs B's Mum also worked for the same firm), I had him cornered for five minutes in the bar telling him how brilliant he was and generally mithering the life out of him.

He was very gracious by all accounts and stuck it for far longer than was absolutely necessary, before turning to my father in law and saying "I'm flattered an' all, but the boy's drunk and it's time he went to bed."

And that was me done.

Can't remember a thing about it but I've seen the photos so I know it happened.
