    B, we must have been twins in another life. Yes it was Luis Angel Firpo
    who was kod by Jack Dempsey in 1923, retired soon after, and in a foolish comeback was kod by Arturo Godoy 13 years later in 1936...Godoy was kod
    by six heavyweight champs later Joe Louis in 1940. Quite a connection.:good

    you never said it is about a HEAVYWEIGHT champ. So the thread was about all weight classes and I guarantee you if you look at all the weight classes, then this thread is true for a lot of fighters. Because what is a "contender"? Everybody who ever fought for a world title is a contender.
    But hey, I didn't come up with a name so all credit to Bukkakke.

    B,true I didn't mention heavyweights because it would be too obvious...
    How many people on ESB associate Luis Angel Firpo of the 1920s donnybrook fight with Dempsey, being kod by Arturo Godoy associated with the 1940s and Joe Louis ? No one except Bukkake ! cheers B.
