Bang Bang Ray Hill said Sykes would've battered Lee Duffy, obviously everyone has their day and Sykes turned into a frail drunken vagrant but in his physical prime combined with national level boxing skills he would've been too much for most men in a stand up brawl.
Went in that pub when Everton played Boro about 95/96. Asked a couple of local lads where the betting shop was and they pointed across the way. Then said I wouldn't go if I was you, you might not make it back. Needless to say I took their advice.
Only people that would of beaten sykes on the cobbles in his prime sober are people like Garry Spiers terry O'Neil and ian Freeman and possibly lee chapman who was a olympic caliber judo competitor people with more tools in there fight game no normal street fighter with a rep is getting past a trained boxer who had no problems with biting and headbutting and using his britsh title level striking skills to despatch
@@thesanestdaysaremad nothing in particular just that you seem to like boxing and I knew that he had immigrated to Australia. I’m pretty sure he fought Muhammad Ali
@@timazu7763fought him twice I think…. Story goes after one of his Ali fights he was in hotel swimming lengths in pool and his trainer said if you have the energy to do that straight after going the distance with Ali then you didn’t try 🤷🏻♂️
Joe bugner is 74 he had his last fight at the age of 49, beating levi Billups, and in 1998, Bugner won the lighty regarded world boxing federation heavyweight title beating James (bonecrusher) Smith
Brian Clough wants his jumper back
Why don’t you do a video on about Brian Cockerill fight with garside
when sykes was at his prime and sober i doubt there was many men that would of beat him one on one on the cobbles ?
That’s just it he was hardly sober.
@@Oddly1970 i know..he was a proper drunkard

Behave with the ian freeman shout
@@TunaCrunch behave with the " only people ' shout too 😂
Bill the Bomb would have all them names mate. Plus Lenny, Duffy. The Bomb was undefeated on the cobbles.
Garside was one of Conroys crew who gave the poor defenceless Brian Cockerill a severe beating!!!
Big Brian is now very frail in hospital.

@@timazu7763 He actually went 30 rounds with Ali, which itself was a minor miracle, considering he was no more than Commonwealth level.
@@timazu7763 Ali twice Frazier twice he was put down once in 4 fights Frazier put him on knee from body shop he was one on the best this country’s had
