    I couldn't help but notice that some of boxing's most feared sluggers have the highest voices you can imagine! :lol: Mike Tyson sounds like Tweety Bird, or maybe Michael Jackson with a lisp. Rocky Marciano had a high voice, too. Ali's voice wasn't as high as Rocky or Tyson, but he was definitely a tenor. Which other former champs had piping voices?

    Jack Dempsey, my alltime greatest heavyweight had a high pitched voice,that I heard many times...
    The vbest rough and tumble heavyweight,in his prime,spoke with a tenor voice, instead of a deep voice we would expect from his tough career..
