    Two Ton Tony Galento was shaped like a beer keg... and often known to consume one.

    John L. was administered whiskey during his war with Kilrain. After barfing it up, Kilrain asked him if he wished to concede. The Boston Strong Boy bellowed, "No, you son of a *****!" and belted him.

    Tunney famously had a concoction of one part orange juice to one part brandy prepared for his first match with Greb, and took it to try reviving himself before round 13. That make him nauseous, and he never tried it again.

    In training for Ross, Armstrong swilled gallons of beer in an effort to gain weight. In the night immediately preceding Greb-Walker, Harry was widely reported to have have had two glasses of ale.

    Mickey himself got drunk after thinking that his first bout with Paul Swiderski in Louisville was canceled on the eve of the 1930 Kentucky Derby. Doc Kearns got it back on track while the Mick was off getting tanked, then a plastered Walker wound up competing in a knockdown fest, and actually garnered the NWS win over the 6'3" Syracuse heavyweight.

    Except for the occasional saint, didn't know a fighter in the '40s 'n '50s who didn't smoke an drink.

    Could barely see through the cigarette 'n cigar smoke in gyms.

    Holmes loves his beer ... in training for the Tyson bout he was quoted in the papers saying he was taking his training so seriously that he was only drinking one beer a day ...
