Thanks for the comments guys (and to Cap for the interest).

Further to the above about the better of the two, I've been speaking to my father about Packy and Dan some more lately. Dan never liked boxing but it was a way to make some decent money (and yes, more so in England). Apparently he only fought as hard as the other guy would. Grampaw on the other hand was pretty vicious and according to Dad (who Packy coached to an amateur record of 139-6 with Canadian and US titles) he was never knocked down by anyone he didn't knock down after.

Thanks again,

John
