Firpo had a dislocated left elbow which was snapped back in place the day prior to fight time. Fleischer was in Firpos dressing room when the...
So this is a little more complicated calculation with really not enough info to fully determine the bottom line. Dempsey PAID BACK a loan of an...
Hold it. That's FOUR years prior to mid 1919 so Dempsey was loaned $90000 in 1915.
$90,000 is a small fortune for a former hobo. It's a large sum of money. Dempsey in 1916 had yet to fully develop into the killer hwt that...

Arcel saw Dempsey in 1916 fight Lester Johnson. The manner in which he spoke of Dempsey at that time was as an up and coming fighter not as an...
Disagree. Norton was DEVASTATED after losing to Ali in 76. It is perfectly reasonable to believe as Norton stated that he lost his motivation...
Nobody is loaning a fighter one step from being a hobo $145,000.

I kind of doubt that figure. That sum in 2017 dollars equates to about $145,000. Allot of money to loan to a relatively unknown fighter who had...
Disagree. A poor mans Louis does not equate to an ATG hwt champion. Liston had the power and a ram rod jab but all the particulars that makes an...
No idea who it is. Does seem to be jumping around quite a bit.
McVey. YOU were the one who kept insisting Frazier had a great right hand until I let you know he never even knocked ANY pro opponent down with...
