Gary Mason: 38 fights, 37 wins, 34 by KO. Only lost to Lennox Lewis (eye injury). Beating Tyrell Biggs and James Tillis on the way. Thats a brilliant record by any standards. Edit. Check correction in the comments. Edit 2: Check correction of correction in comments
@TrendinSpurs Fluck. You've corrected me. Bruno beat Mason. I leave my comment up as a lesson to check before yapping. It should be noted that Bruno also had a great record at the start and middle of his career.
THe trouble with " hard men " is like Conmen. They grow old. Someone ALWAYS comes along who is younger, fitter, harder, mor alert. Being a harman, is a dumbass game, one you can never win
Brilliant again mate. I can't believe that ive never heard of this man. Goes to show there's a lot of men who aren't widely known, that are top level 🥊👊
Lenny McLean really might have been the hardest man because everyone loved claiming they beat him in a street fight and that he wasn't all that, they made sure he was dead for about 15 years to start claiming it though.
Lenny was no doubt a tough man but the myth was greater than the legend... Mclean lost to cliff Fields and refused to fight lew yates and bartley gorman ...
@@kevthegoat8774 lew yate went to London twice to fight McLean and frank warren told him that he didn't want to know ... Frank warren himself said lenny was a bully that spent most of his time beating drunks up.... As i stated no doubt lenny was a tough guy but the myths have just made the legend he was in no way this unstoppable unbeatable force that gets portrayed
@@quack437 Of course every man can get beat, the fact that everyone likes to claim they beat up Lenny or challenged and he backed down after he dies speaks volumes. Were there guys that could beat him? Sure as Cliff Fields, Johnny Waldron and Kevin Paddock all did, David Pearce was meant to fight him and I'm sure he would have handled Lenny too. But all these other ex doormen/street figures who claimed they could have or did after he died is ridiculous. Guys like Mark Potter and current UFC Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall worked as bouncers and could wipe the floor with most.
jimmy brand was a south London legend,killed a man with his barehands!!! I know they nearly did tear up over a door contracts,r.i.p both men both legendary,I trained with Lenny at slimjims in Greenwich but unfortunately never met gentleman Jim but know lots about the legend
Nice one. I saw Jo live at some pub venue early in her career, she's a funny lady. Nothing particularly against Russell the man but I don't think I could stick upwards of half an hour in the same room while he giggles at his own jokes.
The only time lenny lost was in unlicensed boxing mainly to ex pros, their isn't much evidence he lost a fight on the cobbles, he did get shot in the arse by a villan and decided to do nothing but that is it
I lean to what your man said, no way to keep that a secret, would've rippled right through the London underground. There used to be a few that got in the all night cafe a Smithfield meat market, wonder if that was the place. Thanks for this Ben and all the work you do behind the scenes, top man.
Imagine being the guy who drunkenly insulted a girl in a bar, only to find out she was Lenny's daughter or wife !! Oh God ! Just imagine ! Your life would be O V E R !!
After lenny died they as been a long list of people saying they beat him the only one i know 100 percent is cliff fields the rest show me and not some man in a pub that as had 10 beers
Johnny waldren beat him twice mate , 1 first round ko the other 2nd round ko , Kevin paddock beat him as well not sure what round , he wouldn't even consider a getting in the ring with Bill the bomb , you wont have too much trouble finding out about Johnny waldren,
Cliff Fields and Johnny Waldron both beat him twice in unlicensed boxing as did Roy Shaw once and did Kevin Paddock, as far as in a street fight though everyone waited 15+ years after Lenny died to start claiming they took him in the street 😂
I didn't know gary Mason passed away may he r.i.p, great video ben, I'm in lanzarote with me wife having a great chilled time together as always best wishes regards Jay hope ur keeping well pal 👍
Great video 👍 People do a lot of talk of this or that one but at the end of the day they're all hard bar stewards 😜 id love to see a video of the abbey wood site if you ever get round to it. So many great fighters came through there back in the day.
Alo chap hope your well , another interesting upload , I always put a like on all ya vids even if I don't comment il always support you and ya channel...god bless big man.💪💯🤝👍
He was very good, only lost to Lennox Lewis. His fight record is better than many & he was the British heavyweight champ at one point, so I wouldn't play down his ability as a boxer because quite a few big grown men wouldn't have stepped into the ring with him & if they did, they probably wouldn't have lasted.
@MrHengree I agree a great deal with what you say, my point on Gary's ability perhaps could have been clearer, he certainly was British/European/Commonwealth level but Istill feel that ultimate goal was just out of reach
If it was true the whole of London would of known and people would of come out of the wood work to state it when he was alive and famous they would of called him out on his undefeated street rep
Mick healy would be a good ,one apparently he got his stereo shot up by Paul Ferris ,and it was healys job, the bank in Paignton Devon where blink got in 16 years he’s a interesting fella by all accounts . , love the channel mate , best wishes sacha , westLondon

You need to do one on Harry Hayward and his brother. Did you see the documentary on him when he came out of prison a few days before Christmas 71. Im not sure but i think Its called when is Harry getting out, you have brobly seen it because that picture of Harry was from the documentary bro
One man they wer'e all weary of was a person called Dave Spellen mixed race fella who ruled the clubs around the west end late eughties earlt nineties, was going to have bare knuckle with Lenny Mclean but broke his wrist so at to pull out of Fight Dave Spellen was also called Psycho, i saw him literally smash the Granny out of some Triads in Chinatown in front of the chinese mafia.not sure who would have won between Lenny and Him, but both top street Fighter dave Spellen was from West London

When jimmy was a young man he killed a guy with one punch in east Greenwich , I think it was outside the William the 4th pub. It’s mentioned in jimmy Holmes’s book Judas Priest where he calls him jimmy whisky I think. He went off to Spain as a hard doorman and minor face around south east London and came back after his prison sentence with a merc sport and rolls Royce convertible with a personalised number plate and tons of money. My mate asked him if he learnt Spanish in the gaol and his reply was “no but they all learnt English very quickly. Respected by all from the frenchies in Deptford, to the the traveller families in Abbey Wood, Very friendly and personable guy and sad that he died on a prison visit full of regrets for shooting the kid outside the night club

Jimmy did 8:38 him twice and went for a 3rd and McLean said he didn't want it as he'd been done twice and fucked off round from Dorringtons which was on the Southbound side of the tunnel round the back of the tunnel into a Northbound and back to Canning Town. Truth

All these channels tell nothing but lies on the real hard men in the uk,everyone of you really don't know black men who were the real hard men in on the streets,hence why most found themselves testing their true brute strength in historical battles in the professional boxing ring fighting for millions,and not just for a few measly quid as your lenny McLean roy Shaw etc,when I was a kid all I saw was 10 to 20 police officers trying to take one single black man down,and they still couldn't do it,so they always had to resort to backing out their trusted truncheons,same as when I done countless bird in the prison system,and before you all get narky within the comments section,am white Irish from Cork,but family settled in London,and the hardest men I've met in life are the black men,especially in those usa prisons,where I have also spent my holidays,in those prisons you see black men the size of the fella they nicknamed called the fridge,but replace the fat for sheer muscles,and if you want to get into any physical altercation with those blokes,then you be sure you will never wake up ever again,now I really hope that puts things into perspective 😉

Can someone tell me whp Ron Pickering is?😂😂🎉
All these channels tell nothing but lies on the real hard men in the uk,everyone of you really don't know black men who were the real hard men in on the streets,hence why most found themselves testing their true brute strength in historical battles in the professional boxing ring fighting for millions,and not just for a few measly quid as your lenny McLean roy Shaw etc,when I was a kid all I saw was 10 to 20 police officers trying to take one single black man down,and they still couldn't do it,so they always had to resort to backing out their trusted truncheons,same as when I done countless bird in the prison system,and before you all get narky within the comments section,am white Irish from Cork,but family settled in London,and the hardest men I've met in life are the black men,especially in those usa prisons,where I have also spent my holidays,in those prisons you see black men the size of the fella they nicknamed called the fridge,but replace the fat for sheer muscles,and if you want to get into any physical altercation with those blokes,then you be sure you will never wake up ever again,now I really hope that puts things into perspective 😉
Absolute poppycock....
The hardest man alive is Charlie Z everyone knows that..😊
@@difficultkunt4050 and how old is your cartoon charente 😆 1000 years old,same age as trinosaw rex 😆 🤣 😂 😹

Big GARRY MASON BOXING LEGEND
Cliff Fields beat Lenny and i saw Lenny come unstook against Gluckstead.
My grandad took the rattler down the Smoke and in between catching a classic episode of Morecambe and Wise he sauntered through Battersea and followed it up with a stroll through Hoxton and slapped every nobed he was faced with along with enjoying a few Pale Ales . Point is that that London has never lived up to its reputation and today is run by immigrant blade merchs so where’s your geezers theeze days kids 😂😂😂😂?
Ain't heard that saying rattler meaning bus since my old man died and I bet there's not a lot people know what mental..only the old cockneys
Rip lenny respect
I heard that jimmy Brand, Roy Shaw, Lenny McClean, and Bill the Bomb all knocked out at the same time by Ronny Pickering.
Love how all the bullshit explodes after people have passed and cant be verified.
Camden palace best nights ever 🎉
None of them are nuffin,compared to RONNIE PICKERING 😂
Ronnie fucking who
Who? Never heard of him
Absolute nonsense lenny didn't get beaten by him. It's a fallacy.
Watch the whole video
Iv watched it all and all these celebrity gangsters are fake the Richardson brother I would of took to pieces on my own no guns just hands I was kent heavyweight champion 4 years running. Its an easy days work fo me. Pair of muppets. And if I brought my friend Joe with me god help them there's trained and untrained. And them divs are neither. And if he wants to say anything il gladly oblige him. In anyway shape or form.
Cliff fields done Lenny.
Terry from Minder beat him too.
In the ring or the cobbles..?

@@letsdisagreeWow you're truly a lucky man to of witnessed that..🤯 Do you think Terry could beat 'the goat' Charlie Z..? I'd like to see that fight. Two of the greatest fighters that ever lived, going at it in the carpark..👍 (fighting I mean 😭)
@difficultkunt4050 haaa! Now you're talking! These videos are well meaning but my goodness the guy was a brickshithouse psycho yet you read stories where he was very reasonable.
@@letsdisagree I agree this is a great channel with great content..😀 The UK definitely has some characters.. Thanks for the banter bruv.. Peace and all that to you..👍 Gotta go to work now, so until the next round of Pee taking. I wish you Peace and Blessings and all that to you and yours..😀

McLean was just a bully he got beat more than he won
Practice reading out loud from the book before you record, it’ll sound better.
It wasn't read from a book it was written by me and whilst I get millions of views a month across my channels you think your clever giving snide comments mug
Great content as usual
Thanks Scott
Couldnt thejy just try to bore each other into submission,i mean if that was an olympic sport 😂😂😂😂
They nothing compared to Boris Johnson
Theses podcasts get more hilarious every day because of people writing stupid things to get noticed. Please lenny was a Gorilla on the pavement doing podcasts and making up stories is not a good read. Lenny was ill for a while don’t know where you are going with this one. Regards Nicholas
Its not true
Crying
You forgot mr bean . He was a handful a proper nasty bastard
Only second to Ronnie Corbett who was involved in some seriousness
Terry mc cann was well hard
Boring…boring…boring…zzzzzzzzzzz
Lenny was scared of no man it's that simple
Cold imagine. Ant of them being as brave as soldiers. Fighting abroad Not a chance just bullying cowards all of them. They crap thethemseve’s. They not men.
None of them would of survived a day up north
Mate, a prime ernie would have annihilated all of em. That's why everybody likes him 😂
