    This one for you Brits especially who I honor with a complete family room dedicated to the Beatles complete with Union Jack. May Sir Winston Churchill live on in History! God Bless the Stone and Beatles too. The Queen..why not??? lol..anyway

    Having said that Kid Lewis of the East End fought up and down every weight including a heavyweight, certainly one of the all time fighters from England. Hatton also a fighter who did/does not retreat but ran into one Manny P. and no shame in what happened..it happened to a few others. This should be one of the best fights Britain ever put on...except maybe we can put it in the Garden instead. Don't forget I'm old and Lewis died when I was 22..so my knowledge is decent of his era..What say you on this one? Any takers or no one does old old fighters here? Sir Garden State

    I don't really see many fighters hanging with modern fighters to be honest. There's a big gulf in technique between the 20s and 40s in my view.
