Basilio five years on the trot, never realised that before, guess that is the dictionary definition of a value for money fighter, and since I finished a biography of him recently will plough into these tonight, cheers union.

Do you ever read anything that isn't either a boxing book or magazine (not including The Sporting Life)?

Very, very rarely Tina not really a big fiction fan and not really into anything else enough to read a book about it

Have you ever seen Basilio, the only boxing book where less pictures would be better.

True, haven't seen any pictures of him when he was younger so don't know if he's naturally that good looking or the boxing did it.

I'm amazed Carmen's still alive (to my knowledge.) Some people are just made of steel.

Think you are correct JBW, La Motta is though, it was mentioned on here the other day he is the oldest living world champion, believe he is in his 90s now. Remarkable when one considers both of their fighting styles.

Especially when I've heard Sweat Pea slurring his words.
