    True. Requiem For A Heavyweight Quinn = Mountain Rivera
    Freddie Mills had an affair with a chorus girl while he was married [to Ted Broadribb's daughter],Ive heard he was gay from an East End minder friend of mine ,perhaps he was bisexual ?


    Len Harvey was a projected opponent for Joe Louis.

    A gut feeling tells me that this is true. The Freddie Mills query has been covered. Charlie Mitchell was a friend of Oscar Wilde.

    True or False: Eddie Machen had signed to challenge Ali in '67 in Tokyo for the title before Ali was stripped of the crown.

    Joe Frazier's Championship run & prime. Very succesful, but limited to the fact he was virtually blind in one eye?

    Purely guesswork,but I'd say false. As far as I can remember,Ali was on the verge of giving Floyd Patterson a second chance before his crown was stripped from him.

    True. Never realised his eyes were so bad until I read Frazier's autobiography.

    I actually just made up the bit about Zapata being buggered, although he was jailed and severely undertrained/weight drained for the rematch as a result. It showed.

    That he was, at age 16 growing up in the Panamanian slums where electricians are a hot commodity. I mean, how the hell else do you explain the nickname?
