Read that Roberto Duran once knocked a horse senseless with a single punch. Anyone have other tales of super-human feats from the boxing world.
According to Ali, a few years back when he turned off the light switch in his hotel room, he was in bed before the room went dark.
Duran actually did the horse KO thing, yes. But he was playing a bit part in a movie when he did it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_RKPGS2vwM That's him in the sombrero. LOL
If he did that than he's a real *******. I don't think he's an ******* so it's probably just an urban myth.
Before Mayorga's first KO of Forrest, Lampley and the rest were talking about rumors that Mayorga knocked out a horse.
i read that the ethiopian straw-weight champion, starvin hagler, didnt eat for a month before winning the title...beating hungry hearns..
For people questioning whether or not Duran punched out a horse, how do you think he got his nickname?
Punching out a horse was also attributed to Max Baer, among other fighters, It's an old publicity gimmick. The Ali quote was something Ali copied from others, who were given it by publicists. For example, when promoteing Negroe Leagues in 1950's, a reporter said same thing (in bed before room got dark.." ) about Cool Papa Bell, old time player.
