      They are what they are.
      Yeah he lacked bottle Lenny. I mean he daren't fight a pro with gloves on with all the rules and regulations. Instead he just had gloveless all in anything goes fights against people willing to bite his ear off and kick him in the head.
      Apparently he even went to the US and fought the mafias top guy.
      He was a street fighter. He never professed to be Rocky Marciano.

It was called The ring from what I remember. The guy was a Guinness book of records member, amount of push-ups I think and had an an award for bravery as a martial artist , he saved a girl from either a beating or a sexual assault, He had an obsess with becoming famous.

    This clip came from a peculiar documentary, circa 1995. The little bald guy was, as you can tell, trying to make it as a bare-knuckle fighter. He had already had an article about him in The Guardian, including photos taken at a fight, and the documentary featured a video of another of his fights that lasted all of 5 seconds. The climax was to be a fight with a particularly dangerous opponent in a barn in Ireland. But at the last minute the opponent cancelled. Little Bald Guy ended up fighting, and beating, a bloke who had come along to watch and offered to step in so his fellow audience members wouldn't be disappointed. This wasn't the end of the programme though, because the filmmakers noticed that someone pictured watching the fight featured in The Guardian article looked a heck of a lot like the 'dangerous' bloke who Little Bald Guy had intended to fight in the Irish barn. Little Bald Guy admitted that the whole thing was fake. The fight in The Guardian, the video of his five second fight, the scheduled fight in the barn - all had been set up by him to, well, get some fame I suppose (he had also been the world push-ups champion at one time). The one and only real fight he'd ever had was with the audience member who had nobly offered to step in at the last moment! I don't know how complicit the filmmakers were in the whole thing. Certainly the Guardian had been completely taken in by him and had assumed the fight they had attended and photographed was real.

I never had the honour of meeting Lenny, but i do know that he was THE GUV'NOR for multiple reasons. Respected all over the world and respected for good reason. A true man, A true Warrior and A true Legend.

      Except McLean took out 9 guys outside a door he was running, using a leather billy-jack, then chucked it on a roof opposite before the police arrived to sweep them up, swearing to them that he had done them bare handed. From this he got the reputation as 'a ten man job', ie, if you wanted to stand a chance against him, you best turn up with no less than 9 friends to stand a chance.
