I wish boxing had more 'rough around the edges' guys like Greg Haugen today. Too many polished media hype guys talking in the third person and building their so called brand. Ugh.
Greg seemed to have some humility. He was confident but when he was beaten he owned it. Going into his fight with Camacho Haugen said "I've really only lost one fight and that to the undisputed lightweight champion (SweetPea)..and he's a great fighter. He was right
Donald Curry is gay. It's not a big deal, he's still a well deserved HOFmer, but it's pretty well known in boxing circles that he's gay.
The internet? And there's a few things wrong here I was born in 2003, Ike stopped fighting in 2000 although considered a comeback against Andy Ruiz in 2015 I wasn't born when Muhammad Ali was fighting, Ezzard Charles, George Foreman, Lennox Lewis yet I know there careers almost through and through
I recollect the Australian heavyweight Craig Peterson got himself into hot water a fair few times in his brief time on this Earth. He was a problem drinker who was very violent when he was drunk. He did jail time for some pretty serious assaults before overdosing in the States at the age of 26. He wasn't a bad boxer either despite lacking a bit in size and power, but he was clearly a guy to be avoided in public.
