I have seen BBC footage of McTigue scoring at
Wembley. I was too young to realise the awesome power of the bloke.
He was wanted by yank boxing promoters including Joe Louises old
manager.
As an earlier poster mentioned, his fist never used to move more than
the obligatory 12 " , but opposing forwards were left in the dirt.
It seems this guy was exceptional. Even your Ozz hardmen had no answer,
for a change. As I mentioned in another post on this forum, this guy is
now in the RL legends for the UK at RL HQ. He died too early. He was
only about 52.
