I killed 2 men in the ring.who was I ?

Ox Baker

 

Charles "Bud" Taylor ?

Edit - Nevermind Burt, Taylor won a world title.....

 

Henry Maske

 

Well, interesting.....:good
I always thought the NBA title was recognized as a world title......

 

Bob Fitzsimmons killed 2 I think..but he had multiple titles also.

 

Hector Thompson had two opponents die and despite giving Duran and Cervantes trouble failed in his two world title shots.

 

It's hard not to feel for Hector, i honestly dont know how he kept boxing to be honest, perhaps its all he knew. He was a great fighter, hopefully he can be remembered for more than his misfortunes in the ring.

 

:good
He was a star.

His performance against a near prime Duran was super imo as he met him head on,landed some big shots and fell on his sword against an absolute beast of a fighter.

Apparently Duran thought very highly of him as well.

He just came along at a time when two of the best ever fighters in their respective weight classes (Duran and Cervantes) happened to be ruling the roost, he'd be a world champ today without a doubt.

 

Fitzsimmons only killed Con Riordan. The other one is a myth.

 

To be honest, Hec didn't even deserve that title shot against Duran. He really hadn't beaten anyone of note to break into the ratings. Moreover, he had not yet reached his peak. A year later was when he came into his own and began beating some top grade opposition such as Alfonso Frazer, Jimmy Heair, Carlos Gimenez and Shinichi Kadota. Of course by that time he was solidly at 140. Also one has to remember is that he left Duran with a very swollen eye. I've always said he was one of the most underrated fighters ever and has always been my choice, despite never winning a world title, as the greatest from down under.

Baer killed Frankie Campbell. Some blamed him for Ernie Schaaf's death, because he gave him a beating, but that is a myth, because Schaaf had three more fights after that, and then in his fourth fight after Baer he fought Carnera, who actually killed Schaaf.

 

Here's the ones I have besides Taylor:

David Gonzalez killed Rico Velasquez and Robert Wangila
Harry Lister killed Clem Johns and Bert Lowe
Sugar Ramos killed Jose Blanco and Davey Moore
Al Roberts killed Mickey Shannon and Herbert Crossley
Walter Robinson killed Johnny Bryant and Richard Munson
Hector Thompson killed Roko Spanja and Chuck Wilburn
