Title: interesting story on Lenny Mclean
Post by: MoralMan on June 04, 2009, 08:01:20 AM
There were 2 huge and i mean HUGE black guys in the gym last night, both about 6 feet 8 and well over 23-24 stone(about 330lbs) they re brothers. Got talking to them and they seemed really nice humble guys then they told me they used to walk round when they were younger like they owned the world as people used to get out of their way, anyway one night they got into a row with a young girl who happened to be friendly with the legendary Lenny Mclean, the bro's laughed and went to attack Lenny.... .he hospitalised them both quite easily.

That changed their lives and attitudes.

See dont matter how big you are theres always someone out there who ll kick your arse!

Also a prime example what an abusive childhood can do to someone.

Take away his abusive father and lenny would probably be a old calm grandfather right now if it wasn't for cancer.

I think you're full of shit. He told that story in one of his books that he beat two big black guys in a club. He exaggerated a lot too and was beaten plenty of times in the ring (unlicensed). But he was a fucking beast and a hard nut for sure

Yep, same as girls who gets abused by their fathers often end up as pornstars/whores/sluts etc.... Sad world.

No doubt a tough man but not unbeatable. When you read his story, or simillarly Roy Shaw and these tough guys they all sound unbeatable. They tend to leave out the defeats.

Taken from Wiki:
''However, McLean was not invincible nor a professional athlete and large portions of his career cannot be verified. He was allegedly twice knocked out by Johnny "Big Bad" Waldron during the early days of his boxing career, both times in the first round. He was also knocked out in the first round by George Langley and Cliff Field (neither knockout loss is mentioned in his autobiography) and beaten on points by Kevin Paddock, although McLean always maintained that he had never lost a fight "on the cobbles," or outside the ring.''

Yep that's true Waldron and Field both knocked him out twice each, and Roy Shaw also beat him in the first of their 3 fights.

Both Mclean and shaw were tough streetfighters that got exposed any time they tried to go above that level.

I always wondered what was with the fascination with guys like this? Is it left over from the dog fighting days? A thing about the working class men or bare knuckle outlaws? It's like a British version of how Americans idolize bikers and thugs.

It's a working class aspect to British society.

Living life through others, associating certain traits with freedom and masculinity and coat tailing.

Like Bonnie & Clyde and others in American culture.

Around the main city's in the more poverty stricken/working class area's everybody and their grandmother knows gangsters/streetfighters/bank robbers, and will tell stories about such things, people that coincidentally have zero first hand experience of those lifestyles. It's like a white version of the black ghetto culture. Pseudo macho bullshit basically.

that's what I thought. BTW, Bonnie was more "Clyde" than Clyde was...he was an effeminate man, who was rumored to have a male lover...
Odd how Legends get twisted to suit Hollywood and the American Outlaw Theme.

Yeah, the way historical events and people get portrayed can be very unrealistic.

Quite a few criminals of yesteryear are well known to be gay. Maybe the prison showers did a number on them.

And have you ever seen Gary Spiers (RIP) mix it up? I did a seminar with him once back in the early-mid 80's. He's not someone I'd want to be on the bad side of. Fucking monstrous fellow. Such a shame the way he passed away.
