I found what you said interesting. Are you saying you don't believe the stats quoted by the RBSD guys who are prominent at the moment. I don't want to bandy names around, but I mean the well known people who have come to prominence since Watch My Back was published.
Ghost, I was thinking about ads you might see in Martial Arts Illustrated (a UK magazine). But more, I was thinking about what some guys are claiming on the internet, in magazine interviews, or in books.

I don't believe that Geoff Thompson had 300 "fights" and won them all. He's probably knocked out loads of drunks, and probably had lots of fights too. If he has had 300 "fights" then he must have been a Grade A Arse-hole in his bouncing days. I think much of it is down to having a book to sell......
The martial arts are full of claims that get ridiculously magnified - that's how legends are made in the first place.
I remember a post one the old GT forum where a certain camoflagued tactical cap wearing military wannabe was extolling the skills of Terry O'Neil. He went on about how Terry could take loads of people out at once using classic Karate kicks to the head etc. Now I've never met Terry O'Neil, and I certainly would not want to fight him. But I reckon the claims that his camoflagued mate were making were massively exaggerated.
As regards the Cammo Clown himself he said words to the effect of "I didn't rely on high kicks much myself... I only got about 40 knockouts with them......" What a day dreaming bullshitting nonsense spouting buffoon.
