    The words you type could never express your artistic soul.

    What an unfair curse.

    Rest in peace Daddy Ears.

    Technically a myth. Although Corbett certainly wore the rainbow flag on his thongs, he was, in fact, only of homosexual descent on his mother's and father's sides.

    He might have died too early for Dempsey to become a point of discussion between him and any interlocutor who would have written it down.

    I vaguely recall him mentioning something, but don't remember anything about what it was.

    I guess he was rumoured to be Malcom X's dad but I don't know if that's truly creditable or nothing, ese.

    I'd say that was pretty accurate.

    At that time,his left was no more than adequate and he was not a body puncher.

    He didnt out jab Sharkey his points were scored by counters,and brief attacks.His left wasnt really a factor against Louis,he waited till Joe jabbed and countered over it with his right.Louis jabbed one of his eyes nearly closed.

    Schmeling outjabbed Sharkey, it's there on the film. It's factually wrong that Max's left wasn't a factor.
