How's that title catch you? :nut Anyhow, thinking on things said in a number of threads over the past few months, I decided to create this thread, detailing all things especially sorrid that boxers have participated in. Interesting stories of these men of high acclaim and virtue, basically. :yep I forget who said it, but supposedly Jack Dempsey was PAID to break in virgins at brothels. Basically, he drilled future whores until they were prepped to be done in turn by other men. I can only imagine some of the classy things hard living men like Sailor Tom Sharkey were a part of.
A better known one, as I'd only heard that Dempsey story once, and that was recent... Sugar Ray Robinson, one of if not the greatest of all time, used his pregnant wifes stomach like a speed bag to the point where she had miscarriages. More than one, from what I've heard.
And a final story from moi'! Bob Fitzsimmons, in and out of the ring, was responsible for the deaths of three human beings.
Sonny Liston had a scam ,as a young fighter he used to decoy guys into alleys and mug them ,by pretending to be gay.
John L Sullivan was the quality control taster for Old Grandad Bourbon.Panama Al Brown,s real name wasn,t Brown ,he got that from his sexual predilections.
After he retired Sam Mcvey parlayed his good looks into a profitable career as a female impersonator on the stage.
Jess Willard appeared in a few films,his most noteworthy performance was in the western "The Tall Timbers",he played a tree,and was nominated for best supporting scenery.
