Fighters Who Were Notorious Drinkers/Partiers

Chang.

 

not sure i understood this part . does it mean that he liked 2 consume as much substance as he could ?
does it mean that sometime in d latter 90s he became more addicted 2 drugs ?

 

At least El Culito Chavez waited till his prime was close 2 its end anyway .
Makes 1 wonder if he hadn't begun then , would his prime lasted even longer than it actually did ?

 

Chuck Wepner and Randall 'Tex' Cobb. The ultimate party guys. Or pissheads !

 

Lew Jenkins was the first name to spring to mind, nice piece on him here

:good

 

John Conteh.

 

You wouldn't call him that to his face, culito.

Supposively, Julio was already doing coke as far back as the late 80's, but it wasn't until somewhere after the Camacho fight where his partying started getting wilder.

 

d camacho fight was in 1994 , i think , and what does getting wilder than cocaine mean ? crack ? Oliver McCall seems very clear despite his long career , his strong opposition , d crack abuse and d who knows how many sparing sessions with prime tyson .

 

I remember I read somewhere that Greb wasn´t really big drinker....this was a myth apparently....

 

Ummmm...Leon Spinks comes to mind....i mean he blew it

 

All of Lennox Lewis opponents.

Remember,Lenny didnt fight anyone unless they were old,washed up or on drugs/alcohol.

 

Napoles had some problems with alcohol form whta I read....at some point he was even going to the training drunk.....

 

Lew Jenkins.

 

Benny Lynch. Alcoholic. My Dad told me Benny would wander round Glasgow offering people the chance to punch a world champion in exchange for a drink. In those days as well the street drinkers would drink a shampoo called Bel Air to get a buzz if they couldn't get booze. Glasgow had tight laws regarding pub opening hours and the sale of alcohol so they shampoo was a viable alternative.
