@kevingunter3 he would of seriously hurt any one of them. this man was the king of the gypsies. he had some legendary fights that people called fairytales. so mohammad ali came to meet him to see if he was the real deal and ali himself said just the presence of bartley gorman was enough to defeat a man. there is storys of him having fights that lasted for over 3 hours, no breakes for rests just pure toe to toe until the other man can take no more.
In his era, the 70's, 80's and early to mid nineties no-one could touch Bartley Gorman and I mean NO-ONE.. He was a legend in his own lifetime. My dad saw him fight once on Gallows Hill at Appleby fair. The other bloke was about a foot taller then Bartley, and my dad reckons at least 3 or 4 stone heavier. Bartley had him on his arse inside 2 minutes.
@stickeyontheendtype i dont know about any documentary only whats on utube . but theres a book called king of the gypsys ,thats written ,its his life story .its a very good read
