The truth has no words...

In an attempt to add to the diversity of the board...

What are the best boxing related songs?

For me...

The Boxer, Simon and Garfunkel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYPJOCxSUFc

The Hurricane, Bob Dylan

Don't know if James Brown - Night Train counts thanks to its association with Liston despite not being about boxing at all.

Rage Against The Machine - Revolver references prize fighting although it's a far cry from their best!

I heard there's one called "Sonny Could Lick All Dem Cats" but I could never find it.

No idea Mackem but the title of thread is familiar.

Spoiler:

Great first album, love it, brilliant every time I saw them live too.

mama said knock you out - ll COOL J

2nd round knockout - Cannibus feat. Mike Tyson

Yall must've forgot - Roy Jones jnr

The album 'Boxer' by The National is excellent, although totally unrelated to boxing other than its title.

Sixth song down, classic

Thanks Rowley. I am now deaf.

You know you'll be singing it all day shah, or maybe not

Sounds like a cattle rustler who has picked on the wrong gender and is now trying to charm an increasingly irate bull before it nails him to the wall.

Dylan has the two great contenders - "Hurricane" and "Who Killed Davey Moore?". As a dyed-in-the-wool admirer of old Bob, I recommend them heartily to everyone.

Two more for you, both by Johnny Wakelin, both about The Greatest: Muhammad Ali (Black Superman) and In Zaire. The latter is actually surprisingly good.

Rumble in the jungle - fugees, busta rhymes.

Max Kellerman and his late brother Sam.

I remember this from the 70's, although I'm not too sure this is the original version.

Hahahaha OMG Ant and Dec! Is there anywhere they havent polluted with their presence!

Just watching Joolz Holland & for some reason this old tune sprang to mind. It's far better than my Ant & Dec offering.

Necro - Brutalised

Many boxing references...

Stone Roses guitarist John Squire has a song called Joe Louis on his debut solo album, Time Changes Everything, am not too sure whether it is actually about Louis because the album is not very good so I only listened it a couple of times and really can't be bothered to do so now.
