@genellealdred I'm reading an interesting book at the moment that touches on these themes of moral righteousness & partisanship - The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt
@CombatCr @TaylorOnSport@RobTebbutt@RawlingJohn Some great selections here. I'll throw Turpin vs Robinson into the mix. Probably the single greatest victory ever by a British fighter.
@jackkenmare_ Not as many clubs, but Rohan Ricketts career took him to England, Ireland, Hungary, Germany, Thailand, Hong Kong, Moldova, Ecuador, India, Bangladesh and Canada!
@SteveBoxman Haye was brilliant at this point of his career. Impressive that he made himself a star before the Sky/Matchroom bandwagon rolled into town as well. Shame so many new fans only know Haye version II
@PaulZanon1972@BVintageBoxing Thanks Paul, a big compliment from you! I believe there is an opportunity to bring the remarkable Turpin family story back into public attention with an updated book. Often forgotten, brother Dick, was the first black athlete ever to win a British title.
