    Well, he was. But then are you talking about his famous losing battle against Joe Louis? Apparently it was quite a fight.

    apparently you are right, Joe was supposed to have knocked Tommy into the middle of next week, but was unable to do so and Tommy almost won the fight (according to my grandad, Tommy beat him but the referee was biased, much the same as yesterday's rugby match between England and Wales)

    How about Winston Churchill and future PM ?

    In 1910 the miners of the Rhondda Valley were striking over pay. The brutal Home Secretary, one Winston Churchill, was asked to send troops to put down the unrest, which he duly did. A regiment of Hussars were dispatched, along with several hundred Metropolitan Police.

    After a period of steadily escalating tension the police and Hussars attacked the miners with much loss of life, at the town of Tonypandy. A legend in infamy was born.
