In the 60's, he had the hand speed and mobility around the ring of a much lower weight class. Unbelievable for a huge man in his day. Behind the charisma and smiles, he took opponents apart with measured brutality.

I loved watching boxing since I was a nipper .... from the later Ali fights, Sugar Ray Leonard, you name it. I’ve watched Calzaghe and know exactly what you mean. His trainer Dad created an intelligent boxer, I think his opponents and a load of English punters under-rated him, realising almost...

What I also liked about JC was that he knew when to retire and not be mugged off by making a comeback. Those Millennium Stadium nights were amazing. I agree, for any fighter, I look to see if they beat the best of the best in the world at that time.

Boxing: Barry McGuigan beating the legend Predroza at Loftus Road in 1986. Jim Watt beating Pitalua for the world crown at The Kelvin Hall, Glasgow in 1979. Lloyd Honeyghan stopping the brilliant Don Curry in Atlantic City in 1986. Alan Minter defeating Antuofermo twice for the WBC and WBA...

I remember watching that on BBC on a midweek evening in 1992. All poignant and happy memories, I seem to recall where I was each time.

One of his many highlights, crushing the St Andrews field in 1990 finishing on -18, five clear, one of his British Open titles. Three Green Jackets.

I immediately thought of the Ryder Cups and Poulter, but the OP would shoot us down as they’re a European achievement.

Also in several other Olympic and WC finals, hairs on the back of the neck jobs every time, as the Kenyans and Ethiopians faltered one by one.

Mo Farah’s cool destruction of everyone at Olympics and World Championships.

Same here. Gutted at the time that an injury ended his career so young.

I didn’t mean that was a moment, just part of that amazing England team.

Red Rum’s third National victory in 1977. Desert Orchid’s Gold Cup win in 1989. Tour De France - Wiggins first win. Lewis Hamilton overtakes on the final corner of 2008 F1 season to win his first title. Tony Jacklin winning the British and US Opens, following years of us being also-rans at golf.

The brilliant Simon Jones and his reverse swing. Unplayable.
