    Jack Dempsey punching out two would-be muggers while old enough to collect Social Security.

    Got to be Mitch Green for me, holding up a gas station when they had no money in the till so he tied up the owner and put him in a back room and pumped gas for a few hours, pocketing all the money :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Probably a guy that fought this past week end....Alfonso Mosquera served 40 months in jail for...beating his wife to death. Howcome that idiot can be already out and still be fighting? In a more funny way...the Hilton brothers for making a hold up in a Dunkin Donuts. The prize: 25 bucks and a visit in jail,lol

    Yeah no doubt! I thought the book was a very good read, gets a bit personal in some places which isn't what I expected of such a gladiatorial athlete, informative all the same. What you make of it so far?

    I knew Oscar wasn't a rich kid, but I did not know he grew up in that kind of poverty.

    Very inspiring book. I like the intro the most.

    The part about the Mexican Mafia was win.

    This is probably legend, but I've heard several times that Duran had a party trick of jacking off his pet tiger or lion in front of horrified guests.

    That's pretty badass.

    Would love confirmation on that???
