Probably not (it'd have been good yo see though) but then CW is hardly MT or heavyweight. LM would have ripped an average lightweight like CW a new 'un. BBW v CW would be heavyweight v lightweight. There'd only be one winner.
That was my point though Tyson is far smaller than Lenny IMO that fight would have been wicked though
Can you recall the details? I was a 10 year old sat behind the goal and remember something happening in the 6 yard box in front of us, probably after a Lincoln corner. I think Fashanu hit into Norman and no sooner had he got to his feet he had McEwan and Whitehurst to contend with! Think he met his match that day.
I was bored at work this afty so watched a few of LM's fights on the Tube. In one of his earlier ones he weighed in at 15st summat. His hands were like ****ing shovels. It certainly would have been a classic brawl. I'd have put my money on the English bloke.
Tyson was far from a brawler at his best, he had it all. McLean would have been destroyed under Queensbury rules.
Yes I was in the seats behind the goal . Something happened at a corner and it ended with Stan either punching or kicking Fasheneu in the face after the ball had been cleared . You can imagine that JF was not happy but he had met his match in Stan and big Billy was there to back him up too.
8 out of 11 aint bad. However McKechnie for McGregor, the late Billy Baxter for Whitney and Ken Knighton for the late John Roberts imo. Pete Skipper was hardly soft either nor Stan McEwan but a back 3 of Baxter - Davison and Whittle would be as hard as you can get. A midfield "5" of Knighton - Simpkin - Ashbee - Brabin - McGill with Chilton and Whitehurst up top sounds great to me.
Maybe it'sy age but I remember the late great Ian mckechnie as a sort of 'tubby Morton ' type of keeper though clearly pretty hard as he later became a prison officer. McGregor is more likely to spend time in prison but at her majesty's pleasure , hence why he got in over mckechnie, Yeah Knighton was a tough nut but Roberts was the kind of centre half who's middle name was ' uncompromising ' By the way my cousin once has the misfortune of playing a five a side game against a team containing a 50 + year old Waggy he said he no one could get near him because he was all elbows and had thighs like granite
It would have to be McKechnie in goal, far from being a 'tubby morton' type, he was actually a prototype psycho. Any older readers may remember a 60s home game vs Rotherham where their centre forward made a point of always trying to block Ian's drop kick clearances. By late second half, Ian was mightily fed up with this, so the next clearance he chucks the ball up, the CF then gets into blocking position, and ignoring the ball completely Ian kicks the bloke square in his nuts. He goes down like a sack of spuds and plays no further part... No booking for IM as far as I recall. Chilton surely for dropping the nut on Forbes?
Bit before my time and of course in those days you could get away with a lot unseen or otherwise In 'defence' of the inclusion of mcgregor as the goalie he always seems to be about two seconds from having a complete melt down God knows what he was like in the Glasgow derbys or his time in Turkey which can be pretty volatile His sending off against palace the season before last takes some beating especially when he knows he's on camera.
