    Eric Crumble probably did not exist as an individual person. 31 fights vs national amateur champions, world title challengers, and not 1 video or even real picture? Also, named "Eric Crumble" with a record of 0-31 with 31 KO losses in 1 or 2. Seems pretty far fetched.

    You’re just making stuff up now, iii. Nobody, and I mean nobody, not Art Bell, not David Icke, hell - not even shadow herself, believes that she’s a real man. Hermaphrodite? Yeah, probably most likely, but a real man? Nah.

    Angelo Dundee (who, along with his brother Chris, was mobbed up) is the one who blinded Ali against Liston in Miami by rubbing the stuff on Ali's brow that ran into his eyes. But the Black Muslims knew he'd done it and immediately began threatening Dundee's life (because they didn't trust him). Dundee panicked and desperately tried to wash out Ali's eyes to save his own life. Because Dundee wasn't going to get out of there alive otherwise.

    George Foreman was drugged by his own trainer in Zaire, Dick Saddler, who immediately went to work with Ali afterward.

    Muhammad Ali had the padding removed from his gloves in Manila.

    George Foreman was drugged in San Juan (which is why he was actually hallucinating in the locker room afterward) by Blinky Palermo, who had just gotten back into boxing and had strong-armed Young's manager and had forcibly taken over Jimmy Young. After Young's win, promoters had to negotiate with Palermo.

    Don King took out a loan from the Cleveland mob to bankroll the Ali-Wepner fight. And, according to Arum, because of the accrued interest (VIG) on that loan, King wasn't able to finally pay off all that he owed until Holmes-Cooney.

    That the Gambino crime family took control of Renaldo Snipes and tried to arrange a non-title fight between Snipes and Mike Tyson (after Douglas) in 1990, and then planned to stage a WBO title fight between Tyson and Francesco Damiani (who was controlled by an Italian mobster). But the guy they sent to Don King's office to threaten King to agree to Snipes-Tyson never returned and was never found. Meaning, at that point, King would rather wack a mobster than share his cash cow Mike Tyson.
