Boxers in the street

I will add some.
-I once read that during of Ali's training camps if I'm right, the sparring partners were playing cards and someone suggested that Earnie Shavers was cheating , so he got up and said that if someone wanted to say something to him, better say it right there and they all kept quiet.
-I read that after an amateur fight, Jeff Fenech was walking out of the place and someone was making fun of him and Fenech nearly kills him so they had to pull him back.
-Jimmy Wilde used to beat men literally twice his size as a teenager when he worked in the mines.
-Supposedly Roberto Duran once got mad in the gym and started beating everyone left and right.
Still talking about Duran, i once read that as a teen he was walking with his girlfriend and some guys said something to her, so he beat like 3 or 4 guys and they were hospitalized.
-Edwin Valero was another one that used to beat grown men as a teen.
-Chuck Wiggins is probably the toughest street fighter ever, he once cleaned a bar so the police arrived, so he beat up three police officers and when they took him to the jail, he beat everyone in the cell and they put him in solitary confinement.
-Francisco Bojado was a street fighter after he left boxing and he usually took guys out with one punch.
-Some guys once tried to rob the store where Ace Hudkins worked, they found themselves in troubles and when the police arrived they all were unconscious.

 

I worked with his brother for awhile, he went to Houston with Dave when he challenged Brown.Charnley was a quiet guy ,but hard as nails, he was badly managed imo ,he should never have been thrown in with Griffith,his manager was a greedy **** . Dave lived about 15 miles from me .

 

i thought jeff fenech smashed up some bouncer, not sure though.

 

Nigel benn was and is a nasty bully.he threatened to smash in the Scottish lesbians face on that reality tv show a few years ago and in his book he describes how he used to love beating up people as a teen.he mentions a story where as a 17 year old in a essex pool club he picked a fight with a 35 year old Indian man than broke his nose punched him unconscious just to show off to his brothers

 

Fenech at least one in Atlantic City

 

That really was a stupid fight, Griffith and Charnley, I am glad you at least explained what happened, I always wondered why? Was Charnley at the time having weight problems? I mean taking Curvis was bad enough at WW and then Griffith, jeez.

 

I don't think Charnley had difficulty making weight. Mickey Duff named Charnley as the best British fighter never to have won the title since the War.Duff believes Charnley was robbed against Brown at Earls Court he said referee Tommy Little and Charnley's manager Arthur Boggis had bad blood between them and Little would not do them any favours.Duff said of Boggis , he was the gamest manager I ever saw,when offered a match for Charnley he never said who? He would say"how much?"

 

Greedy managers has ruined many a career, too bad. Now you gone and done it now I want to know more about Charnley.lol That was some schedule he had for the last two yrs of his career. If you dont mind I am going to use the info you provided on another thread.
Thanks for the info

 

I always think that Benn is the last man i want to face in the streets.

 

You are much better in
formed than me.Fill Your Boots!

 

Myth

 

You are 100% right about this, any grown man should avoid fights. But there comes a time every know and again where a mans gotta throw down.

 

Posted the following previously in another thread.

Jock McAvoy The Rochdale Thunderbolt.

A seething mass of bad intentions who had a hair trigger temper, a punch that was dynamite, and a willingness to fight at anytime, any place and anywhere

After retiring from boxing McAvoy contracted polio, it is reported that when McAvoy entered a public house using sticks to aid his walking, a local 'tough guy' badmouthed Jock calling him amongst other things a cripple, in a instant the sticks were dropped and so was the tough guy, introduced to Jocks right fist and a little sleep in quick succession.

McAvoy was not the nicest of guys but by god i would want him on my side if a brawl occurred.

 

Randy Turpin used go out at the weekends in Leamington and pick fights with local thugs apparently.this was years after he had retired.

 

no wonder if he was associated with the ****s of essex.
