    All of Holyfield's 11 kids have names beginning with E

    Well, being the only guy at that time who has the authority to distribute Coca-Cola for the entire country would make him a very wealthy man.

    Oh yeah, I think that would make it a trivia as well. It happened after the war.

    Barrera has a degree in law and Marquez in accountancy. Morales was born in the gym.

    Kostya Tszyu used to stand on his head for extended periods of time. Like the Shaolin Monks do in training.

    Barrera has a steel plate in his head (still not sure of the reason it was inserted)

    Tommy Oosthuizen's dad is the local town drunk where I live. He's a former boxer and beats people up at the local bar. I personally haven't seen him sober, ever.

    Good thread!

    Muhammad Ali's mom claims to have had her tooth knocked out by an infant Clay's fist.

    Marquez lost his first professional bout by DQ, and found out the doctor (or the referee, can't recall) owned a piece of his opponent. He had to delay his pro debut by three years because of a spinal injury.

    Andre Ward said Tim Bradley was one of his toughest opponents as an amateur.

    Jake Lamotta would have marathon sex sessions in a steam room with his wife to cut weight.

    Talk about a G.
