Who are boxers that overcame adversity so often in such ludicrous ways that it made you think “this is some Disney **** right here”? The main two I can think of are Marciano and Jeffries
Jersey Joe Walcott... and for his 100th attempt at the title! If you took all his circumstance and made a film people would eye roll the plot of an an aged man living in the great depression, fighting, looking after a family / the neighbours kids etc training on fumes, starved, being ripped somehow? working hard labour by day, catching the bus to fights etc. Compounding endless issues and getting 4 title shots before landing a cinematic KO? sounds corny but really he is a testament to the human spirit.
Matthew Saad Muhammad. A tragic beginning, but an inspiring rise to greatness that he went on to achieve.
Canelo. There are several fights that he lost or could have lost and got the nod instead. Bivol beat the paste out of him and the judges had it down to the wire going into the 12th
@janitor can you pretty please go on an awesome rant and teach us all something? If you can’t think of a subject Jersey Joe…
