Stories of Old Ex Fighters beating up thugs or young guys?

Seamus, I have a legal copy of Charles [Sonny] Liston's social security card...It is in Roman numerals...

 

Floyd Patterson was an up and coming HW just starting to make some real money, so he decided to take his wife who was pregnant at the time, out to dinner. On there way back to the car after the meal one guy try robbing him at knife point...Floyd hit the guy with a 1-2 and that man spent the rest of his days suckin food through a straw...In an Interview with HC he said he would never throw another punch outa anger again..Floyd felt bad for the guy..I say he tried robbin the wrong guy!

 

Thats a fact..George just isnt gonna hurt you, hes gonna hurt you permanently!!..Wouldnt **** with him!

 

My Grandpa used to spar with Liston..in the late 50's they were neighbors..I have pics of Sonny hangin out for BBQ's and what not..My Grandpa always had the best things to say about Sonny....Liston told my Grandpa and a few of his brothers he was gonna be HW champion of the world..Well back then they were all like ya ok whatever kid...Next thing they knew he moved outa St Louis and was TV doin just that..amazing story...Oh and by the way my Grandpa said Sonny could knock down a tree with his jab, he hit really hard, just through some light sparring

Would Jimmy Wilde's days in the Boxing booths of old, count?

Wilde -- never weighing more than 105 pounds -- routinely knocked out grown men (whom outweighed him by upwards of 100 pounds, at times) all whilst just 16 years old.

 

And this constitutes the only victory the Italians can claim over the allies for the entire Second World War.

 

with respect mate, you wanna try playing aussie rules and see how long you'd last. Non of that body-armour and headgear for those boys

 

I think a key problem would be trying figure out the rules and what the **** is going on

 

I heard about the Eddie Futch one. He was out shopping. Good on him for poleaxing the ***** !

 

Its fkin mental mate. Cant really make head or tail of it only that its full on and no quarter is given or taken (though the Aussies beat **** outta us a few years back, dirty ****s). Them GAA men are big strong fit guys and they looked mediocre (dirt-wise) compared to the aussies. I wouldnt fancy bein in the middle of one of those games.

In fact i think they cancelled it one year until everybody shook hands and were friends again. Some of the tackles were straight outta Homers DVD of sports injuries

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure big George can still whip some ass. Not in the ring of course, but if he grabbed a smaller guy by the shirt with one hand, while clocking him with the other, it would still make a mess.
