So was Lenny

[Conker]

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.

[Jadeveon Clowney]

looks retarded .... like most of the guys you englanders idolize.

[Jaime]

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

Tyson, fuck me Tyson would knock them both out at the same time in the space of about ten seconds.

Jason Genova's father is a Brit?

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.

Great post. How these guys developed reputations is beyond me. Earning about 200 quid a nigh beating up skinny old pikies in bareknuckle or cold clocking drunks from behind in pubs.

Sells books though.

Do you mean the KUGB Frank Brennan?

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.
