Stupid thread admittedly, but has there ever been an openly homosexual boxer?

I know that Brown had a long gay affair with the French poet Jon Cocteau who eventually became his manager. It was for Cocteau that Brown retired after fighting Angellman in 1938. His affinity for Europe was understandable, not only because he felt that he could get a squarer deal there but probably because Europe has traditionally been more open to that lifestyle than the more puritanical U.S.

 

Emile Griffith was as Gay and flaming openly feminate, he liked younger hispanic boys. Some say Mike Weaver was...Tyson was just a low life...If you can have sex with a man it does not just start in jail...you dont suddenly become attracted to a man's shitter..you are allowed to pull your pud you dont have to be a dog...If your gay your gay but dont pretend to be a ladies man and like guys as well

 

Rumours circulated that Donald Curry was gay or possibly bi-sexual. Although he did father a child. At one point during a press conference a woman was told to hang around him and look like they were a couple.

 

JUst like I wrote it ... the best oral sex he ever got ...

 

Source?

 

panama al brown had a gay affair?

interesting... also a pretty darn good boxer:think

 

Try the pictures circulated around that show him naked with his boyfriend in bed.

Assertion. Pushed me.

 

Wasn't Ray Leonard briefly a part of the "going low" scene, where men go with men but do not embrace the gay lifestyle?

 

then there was the two scottish fighters ben doon and phil macavety

 

The old ones are the best ones.

 

Wasn't phil a southpaw or could he go both ways.

 

Phil McCrevis too.

 

He was often wide open but took it well.

 

Your not referring to the Irish Boxer Jim Rock ("The Pink Panther"), are you?
