    Talk about TOUGH. I was one of the hardest punchers ever, who was stabbed by a woman and weeks later I fought for a title...Today I am forgotten but yesterday I was avoided..Who am I ?

    unit, yes Tiger Jack Fox was stabbed by some woman inches near his heart and a few weeks later fought Melio Bettina for the LH title in 1939. Tiger Fox scored 89 kos in 140 wins including koing the bigger Joe Walcott..
    Truly a tough forgotten great of yesteryear....Good show unit...

    Dayum thats crazy never heard this before.

    Could you imagine if the old timers heard Haye whinging about his toe as the reason he lost a fight? Certainly don't make em like they used to.

    Graham Norton did almost this exact same thing.

    TOUGH, wow.

    What do you think he said to the doctor while getting stitched up
    "Can I still make the fight tomorrow?"
