King of the Gypsies: Memoirs of the Undefeated Bareknuckle Champion of Great Britain and Ireland

Product Information

Boxing family Bartley came from a rich heritage of fighters and many of his forefathers had been champion gypsy boxers before him. To Paul McGovern how can you say Lenny Mclean would win hands down against Bartley without even watching Gorman fight?? Mclean was over-rated and ko'd many times. Also he should not have lost the first fight to a blown up Middleweight in Roy Shaw if he was that great. Michael we're two cousins and we didn’t know this man but know fighting people. You know Irish people - half Irish ourselves but we know that English can fight, xx please tell me who the current king of the gypsies is... ther are so many different stories and tales... Dan Rooney, Henry Francis, Lewis Welch, john fury and so on... just want to say all these people who say Dan Rooney has always ben champ, why didnt he ever challenge Bartley... to be the best you have got to bet the best. It’s funny how they all come out the woodwork now he's gone. If Rooney thought of himself as the best any decent man will tell ya... go prove it; I had also seen him in the bookies, playing the roulette machine with Trevor, his stepson, whom he took into his care when his mother died and his father went to prison for armed robbery.

I’ve read Gorman’s book and yes he was a great man and even greater fighter but could not touch Lenny Mclean. Lenny would win hands down In January 2002, hundreds of gypsies from across the country came to the town for his funeral after he died from liver cancer, aged 57. Biography Dan Rooney ent the king a gypsies n never will be!! An aint saying he cant core but he ent the king... Bartley always will be... but Henrys probably the closest thing! RIP Bartley!! So what would you call Gene Lebell who is Kings of the world!

This dude is solid and Bartley is awesome as well!every man thinks they are the best in my eyes .Bartley Gorman my grand dad Jo Gorman john Gorman and the rest .r.i.p. love yous 4 ever xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Elizabeth How many people have you spoken to who ever saw Bartley Gorman fight? In fact, how much information do you have on Bartley Gorman that doesn't come out of his book? It's funny that now we have the technology freely available to record these fights, the great fighters of yesteryear have been replaced by a succession of semi-competent amateurs of very little real skill. In fact, Ali was one of his heroes, and Bartley based much of his fighting traits on the boxing skills of 'The Greatest'.

Within four years of pledging to become a golf pro, Joe had become London junior open champion, and belonged to the prestigious Home Park Golf Club, close to Hampton Court.Anselmi, Eduardo (September 2009).
