"When Tunney was champ, in the Ring annual rankings, the only guy in the top five didn't beat was Sharkey, because he hadn't fought him." True in...
"The suggestion that Freddie Mills was Jack the Stripper apparently came from gangster Frankie Fraser" "Mills was a mason and confessed the...
"They were better than Rocky Marciano's BROTHER, who admitted he stepped in against Rocky under an assumed name and took a dive." These were...
