    This is such an easy one, Burt. When I first became interested in sports at 8 or so, I immediately began to correlate where famous boxers were born and where murderers were born. This is normal for any child.

    The answer is Charles Manson and Freddie Miller were both born in Cincinnati, Ohio.

    True Manson never actually killed anyone personally.

    1. "You must've been one sick puppy?!"

    Why do you think I ended up posting on this board?

    2. "I'm going to laugh if this is the wrong answer"

    The question just struck my morbid funny bone.


    *Getting down to Manson was just a quick process of elimination. Most of the other really over-the-top murderers such as Ed Gein or Jeffrey Dahmer were born in Wisconsin, as I was. Wisconsin is the world center for cheese, necrophilia, graverobbing, and cannibalism, but I doubt if it has ever produced a HOF boxer.

    Did Hitler or Stalin or Nero?

    The guy who inspires the finger is just as guilty as the guy who pulls the trigger.

    It ain't Manson! Rats!

    Well, what about Billy the Kid and Gene Tunney, both born in New York City?
