OUTSTANDING Idea Brother Billeh!!!...

Do you reckon Conteh would have beaten the likes of Kov and Ward?

 

Little known fact that Britain had two of the best 175lbrs in the World for a brief period in the 1970's and both of them had Irish roots. Contehs mother was Irish and Chris Finnegans parents were Irish.

I used to pass twice daily through Chris Finnegans home village- an utterly insignificant place called Iver Heath just outside Heathrow Airport.

There's absolutely no doubt that Finnegan would have been the Champ but for Foster being the man at that time.

Finnegan fought Conteh at Wembley for £50,000 for the 3 belts {British, European, Commonwealth} that was a fortune at the time.

Finnegan was also connected to controversy albeit indirectly. Finnegans brother Kevin had gone to shake Marvin Haglers hand and Hagler had allegedly told him "I don't touch White flesh".

Finnegan passed this around and Alan Minter got to hearing about it. There seems to be something to it as the Petronelli's said that when they first met Hagler he used to use "Whitey this" and "Whitey that" a lot.

Minter subsequently said that when he fought Hagler he would "Not shake that black mans hand" but the Press reported it as that he wouldn't shake a "Black mans hand".

Consequently a load of idiots showed up at the fight thinking Minter was their mascot and when Hagler won they fired beer tins into the ring.

Hagler and his crew had to hide in a portable toilet and one scribe announced that Hagler had emerged from the toilet as "World Champion".

After Finnegan had lost two fights to Conteh {very good close fights at that} he fought a particular scumbag called Johnny Frankham.

Frankham comes from a long line of scumbags and recently was slung into jail for shaking down an old man for thousands of pounds for work he never did.

Frankhams nephew trained Brad Pitt for his boxing scenes in "Snatch" and was himself banned from boxing for attacking a referee.

 

The aftermath of Hagler-Minter was crazy.

But damn Marvin lit Minter up! That was Hagler at his TRUE peak.

 

this is it

 

Great snap! Looks like Cokes gave Conteh a shiner.

 

It was a handful of dickheads but security was not what it is today, it was usually a bunch of fatties in t-shirts trying to enforce things. Today they'd have 200 guys at ringside.

And Minter was firing back too............Minter would have been a champ in any era bar maybe the Robinson era {even then I give him a chance, just not against Robinson} .....amazingly, Terry Downes took on Dick Tiger in his, Downes, 12th fight.

His 12th pro fight.

He was asked afterwards "Who do you want to fight next" and Downes said "the bastard who made this fight"

 

Total nonsense. Minter was far from good enough to be a champ in any era bar the robinson one

 

Yes. I can't see him beating Graziano or Keith Holmes or fucking Dave Tiberi

 

If you take the absolute worst champ of any era, yeah, he might beat them, but that doesnt means that he would have been a champ in any era

 

Minter was a Terrific Fighter in the Greatest Era of All Time not only in the middleweight division, but in boxing history. He killed a man Jacopucci and would BUST Thurman and Tiberi and Holmes to pieces.

 

Graziano was 5'5 Minter is 5'10

 

Which is why Minter boxes his head off.

 

Yes

 

Graziano was a hard puncher with a bad chin and bad defense who made his name knocking out welterweights and winning one of three off of an older champ (who himself held on to his title by not fighting any of the numerous top contenders around, which is how Graziano got a shot in the first place) ... his enduring fame is a tribute to shoddy sports journalism and pervasive mafia influence of the time, not to mention having the right complexion... he’s not a top 20 middleweight of the 1940s, really

As for Jesus the Mongrel, the guy just says stupid contrarian shit for the sake of arguing and doesn’t know anything about boxing

 

Alan Minter would have like a 70% connect rate on his southpaw jab against Graziano

 

Your a degenerate who has absolutely no idea of the skills involved in boxing. The only criteria you use to rate a boxer is if he was fighting when you were a kid

 

Uh huh... yeah I was a kid in the 40s

Then I earned a bronze star in Korea

Flew a fighter jet ... over Macho Grande, came in low, under their radar

After the war, settled in Santa Barbara ... ran a cafe...

 

Your

 

Minter was fighting in the 40's you utterly retarded clown !!!

 

Is this guy serious?

 

I know your referring to graziano, but it makes no sense considering the post of mine was obviously about minter you degenerated simpleton

 

You quoted the post about Graziano, you fucking retard

 

The part about Graziano was obviously irrelevant to my quote. In that same post you were referring to me, and the only posts i made in this thread were about Minter

Seems like your crack ravaged brain has sunk even lower

 

Retardedfaggotsayswhat?

 

Seems to Be, Sadly.
