    No. Max Schmeling was a great guy & excellent friend to his old opponent Joe Louis. They visited each other yearly, Max helped pay for his funeral & made it to 99.

    I get the feeling that George Foreman or Bernard Hopkins might just break that record.

    Gallo Nero is a name used for the best redwine in the Chianti district in Italy.
    They show the black rooster on the label as a quality sign.

    That's Gallo Nero, which is the same meaning as Gallo Negro but Italian rather than Spanish.

    No, Max Schmeling made 99. I believe that is the record.

    Name calling how unsavoury, my mistake though I saw the name and assumed differently I didn’t know the meaning.
