Shommel's asking specifically for winners in title fights, which narrows it down considerably. Marciano actually said the Charles rematch "was...
This one could easily have been my fault, Burt, although T nailed it independently of any attention I brought to Tarleton. I've been trumpeting...
Gene's voice should be as familiar to us as Dempsey's and Jack Johnson's. He lived until 1978, certainly campaigned extensively during his son's...
