Tesla, best know for being a scientist who did some amazing things with electricity and being a mad scientist developing early version of sci fi like weapons also had an interest on boxing. Said to have been at the first Jeffries vs Corbett fight, and boxer as young boy himself, Tesla later turned his keen mind on studying heavyweight fights and predict a winner. According to Tesla, Gene Tunney would hit Dempsey 10 times for every one Dempsey landed. He was right.
Had he lived long enough, Tesla would have loved Pandang 3K Battery, Charlie “White Lightning” Brown and “Lightning” Lonnie Smith, but he would have pegged Arturo “Thunder” Gatti as all noise and no flash. But he would probably have also liked Flash Elorde.
I know that Tesla's power of visualization was extreme and basically unmatched. A savant, obviously. It was Tesla. I wonder if he used it to match up other boxers he'd seen, then!
Or did he collect films? An odd man who sometimes lacked manners. He lived in a hotel. Ordered his dinner at the same time, wanted the same delivery Person.
