son, you obviously don't understand the science of fighting, 1stly,: You'd have to actually hit Eddie, the man is bulk muscle, if he blocks your attack you aint gna do shit, and he has one of , if not the hardest punch on the planet, so when you are fannying about trying to hit him, if he hits you once he will knock you into next year... 2ndly: For the last year Eddie has been doing extensive MMA training, man KNOWS how to fight,. so mix that with his size, power and your inability to hit him,... your comment just sounds daft and ill-informed of facts, I'm not trying to make you look stupid though.. just filling in the gaps of your knowledge on this subject,... you're welcome
Lee Morrison is legit one of the best self defense instructors on the planet. URBAN COMBATIVES is legit as fuck.

Haystacks is a northerner, from Blackburn or somewhere not to far. He was 50 stone at his heaviest

He wasn't fifty stone, fifty stone is 700lbs. Brian Shaw is 430lbs. I'm calling bs on that one, athlete's are knows for exaggerating their height, so exaggerating their weight would be no different. He wasn't muscular either, so he would have had great difficulty moving.
My line up any era if I could pick 5 would be Lenny Maclean ,Gary spiers, Terry O’Neil ,Ste Clark ,bri Schumacher maybe biased towards Liverpool but I think Lenny has to go in everyones list myself 😁

I think what makes many of these guys so effective is that once they decide to go, they just go, the blitzing shown in a few clips including Lenny Maclean against Roy Shaw is absolutely horrible to defend against if you haven’t space and I’ve no doubt these guys intuitively knew angles to reduce space, excellent compilation
Lee Morrison is the man so is Geoff Thompson
This is an interesting one. Baz and a bunch of us used to travel down from Brum to work the Door on Ministry on Friday nights (RnB Nights) not for the feint hearted. Great guy. And early in my teens Giant Haystacks tried to intimidate me in a club, he was wearing his wrestling gear. An absolute giant of a man. Needless to say I didn't like him after that 🤣😂😭

Lenny McLean was one of those guys who could fight in the ring and on the street, more so on the street in a brawling anything-goes environment though. He wasnt a top level pro boxer but he was a top level street fighter for sure. His aggressive attitude and physical size would be enough even if he couldnt fight. Gary Spiers too, he was huge, could fight and was incredibly violent. If those 2 were running a club, it would be boxed off for sure... im a nobody by the way, never knew either of these guys, im just going off what ive researched, plus i knew a couple of guys who worked with Gary Spiers so heard a few stories from them. Strongmen shouldnt be underestimated either, the way they train and the sheer power of them is enough to be able to deal with trained fighters if they time it right
Geoff anyday...I am not even sure, if he is the better fighter in a ring - but he is a master of the mindgame and being the first to strike.
These are the guys you want in your corner... and at your door!

I’m surprised not much mention of John Anderson in the comments, I was on one of his days and he was polite, professional and a genuinely good teacher but he took cold detachment to a new level. I’d imagine he’d long sorted out any internal conflicts on the use of violence and you’d have to be a complete idiot after seeing him for 5 seconds to think of fronting him up and not expecting that it was going to be met head on. I don’t want to do him a disservice as of course he covered lots about avoidance etc but if someone was silly enough to start he’d be an absolute nightmare
Great post, thank you.
Nosher Powell was no slouch.
Been following Lee Morrison & Geoff Thompson for a while. Both greats in effective reality based combatives.
Haystacks was called Martin Ruane not Michael.
Brilliant video this ! Obviously we have heard of all these top guys, the only one I new personally was BIG BAZ and this guy was a monster of a man hard as they come but also a top nice nice guy especially family and friends R.I.P BIG BAZ gone to soon never be forgotten legend 💙💙

I would have picked Cliff Fields over Lenny Mc Lean . He was from Dunstable just outside London but very much part of the scene. I think he beat Lenny a couple of times in the unlicensed ring and Bang Bang Ray Hill rates him higher . In fact it’s safe to say that Bang Bang Ray Hill deserves a place on the London list over McLean . Eddie Hall has recently taken the world record for the hardest punch and Alan Crossley won Britains Strongest Man in 1984 .

Something about being a small island, relatively speaking, that was throughout history seen as a target for potential Invaders, from Romans, saxons, vikings, Normans, Spanish, French etc, meant that fighting became a part of the British way. Not forgetting the internal conflicts like English and Scottish and Welsh. It's why we have always punched above our weight. That said, it's also given us a bit of a bad reputation in Europe and with football hooligans, and drunken trouble makers on holiday. Despite not being the military force we have been in past history, u certainly would want the Brits on your side should anything kick off. Lol
I remember Chris Pyatt doorman at Simpkins nightclub in Leicester - if he let you in you'de better behave :-)
You missed out Stanger the banger from Leicester , Stuart Stanger !
Ohh to bring back the football hooligan days made a quality day out
I’m disappointed in this video as you did not mention Danny Dyer
Shaw could really take a punch. Most heavy weight boxers couldn't take that flurry.
Haystack was 45 stone

The toughest men are the ones who remain humble and keep God in their sights until their last breadth. That is the real test of being a tough guy. Not acting tough because of Ego. Every man, will eventually grow old and become frail. Then, they get to meet and be judged by the toughest man of all - God!
