    Just wondering if you guys know any cool facts related to boxing like

    Roberto Duran knocking down a mule and braking a knuckle in order to clear his tab at a bar.

    Ron Lyle being pronounced dead in prison after a being stabbed.

    Fraziers manager once added the miles Joe ran for his 3rd fight with Ali and it added up to running twice around the world.

    Don King slit a mans throat and killed him.

    Tony Ayala gave Cuevas a beating when Tony was only 15.

    Benitez was 17 when he won the Jr.Welter championship.

    (I heard) Canelos heavybag was a tree with a matress wraped around it.

    Not sure this one adds up, or it's not worded correctly. Twice around the world is around 48000 miles? Assuming it's a 12 week training camp that would be 4000 miles a week lol.

    That would require him to run 24mph, 24 hours a day for 12 weeks without a break.

    I'd be worried if my manager was that bad at maths tbh, he's the guy that's supposed to be taking care of my money!

    I think Dirrell broke that record, whilst going backwards.

    I thought he beat one man to death and killed another by shooting him in the back?

    Where did you hear about the throat slicing?

    Latest terror attempt against Denmark was done by a former one legged amateur boxer. He ended up blowing up a toilet and some of his face instead of his target.

    Mental note: stick to what your good at.

    Don King has killed at least 2 people, probably far more.
