    Delvin Rodriquez dominated amateur boxing in the COnnecticut for years until a new face emerged onthe scene and beat him, much to the amazement of the entire state's scene...

    that fighter?

    Max Schmeling, at age 99, is the longest-lived world heavyweight boxing champion. He died in 2004

    George Edward Foreman is the oldest man ever to become heavyweight boxing champion of the world at age 45 reclaiming the title he held 20 years earlier

    George Foreman also broke the record for the fighter with the longest interval between one world championship and the next.





    and here is a piece of trivia that i found that is obviously false

    John Ruiz, who knocked out Holyfield in 2001, is the first Hispanic ever to win the world’s heavyweight title.

    :think could be

    Im still goin with Emile Grifith though

    did a check on boxrec and although it can be wrong at times..

    JCC is only listed as having boxed 162 rounds in total so according to it Emile's record of 339 championship rounds is safe from the threat off JCC takin it away from him

    *edit* sorry my bad!!! stupid me clicked on Julio Ceasr Chavez JR's boxrec page.

    again your point is valid more research is needed!

    Jake LaMotta used to have marathon sex with his wife in a steam room to make weight.
