The Most Loved FIGHTER Of All Time

[@SOLE_II_SOUL]

Driscoll was also a huge inspiration for Bruce Lee, especially when it came to jab mechanics.

[@EnglishMartialArts]

Yes, absolutely.

[@RobinBassett]

This is what the Internet is for. I'd never have known of this gentleman but for this channel. Many thanks.

[@EnglishMartialArts]

That's made my day. Thanks for commenting!

[@ruiseartalcorn]

He was truly an amazing martial artist!

[@johnstuartkeller5244]

It is always an uplifting, and important, thing to hear the story of someone who proves, simply by living with admirable correctness, that championship is a characteristic truly born in the heart, not on a belt. Fight team!

[@EnglishMartialArts]

FIGHT TEEEEEAM!

[@fredazcarate4818]

Thank you Sir for your moving tribute to Jim Driscoll. I thoroughly enjoyed your narrative. Once again thank you!

[@lewisb85]

He also inspired the greatest Welsh boxer ever Jimmy Wilde, I saw Jim's Lonsdale belt when they had it on display in the sports room at the Welsh folk museum at St Fagan's.

[@MaryBrandt-gz4pl]

Proud to have been a Driscoll,Jim was my Great Great Uncle, brother to my Great Grandfather 🥊🥊🥊🥊

[@EnglishMartialArts]

I'd be proud too!

[@nighttimeaudio]

Good to see Driscoll get some love . His book on the educated left hand is brilliant.

[@Poohze01]

Appreciate it!

[@rafaelbabar3494]

I cannot agree. The most beloved fighter of all time is the magnificent, the all-time greatest Muhammad Ali even the great Gama is second.

[@EnglishMartialArts]

Ali may be more respected, but not more loved.

[@nickbrooks3054]

@@EnglishMartialArts I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, Oz. Driscoll may have been beloved on both sides of the pond, but Ali was at one time, arguably the most famous man on the planet. When he died, his passing was felt by peoples in all corners of the earth. You can say that that was 'respect', not 'love's but how does anyone quantify such a thing? It's impossible to know.

So how are you so sure?@@nickbrooks3054
