    Ermillo Spalla became a tennor after he retired from boxing.

    He gave Gene Tunney a tough fight.

    Let's face it, hardly any boxers had a voice as deep as Rock Hudson.

    When I heard him talk for the first time, I think I chuckled a little bit out of surprise.

    De La Hoya has a high-pitched voice, almost feminine.

    Barry McGuigan had quite a high voice. Chris Eubank was another one.

    Why does everyone have to pick at Donald Curry? I honestly hope that's not the real case with him, however.

    Interesting topic.

    I can't think of any great champion or top killer puncher with a deep voice! Amazing!

    Perhaps Joe Frazier has the fullest, richest voice of the top heavyweights.

    To add insult to injury, from Duran to Lewis, most ring kings seem to have voices positively in the higher ranges. Embarrassing!

    I guess testosterone alone does not a champion make.
