I am a highly thought of HOF'er who outside of the ring was technically ko'd by another HOF'er in strange fashion.....who am I???
Greb/Walker That's who I 1st thought of as well. In fact I sent Casey a message asking if that was the answer he was looking for but that was an hour an 45 minutes ago and I didn't receive an answer as of yet. I did find this story on that: http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3465571
I was gonna say Greb/Walker but i dont think he kod Walker. Greb just got the best of the scrap. How about Rocky and Tommy Gunn lol!!
Young Griffo KO'd James J Corbett in a bar scap. Here's an account of events Never underestimate an Aussie:yep
I knew there was another one, I just couldn't think of it. Good Job! BUT, I wonder how much of this story is really true?
I wonder how much any of these stories are true, especially seeing as how many of the more highly spread stories regarding a lot of the old-timers have been debunked many a time.
The Walker-Greb street fight is a myth. It never happened. Bob Moha supposedly KOd Ad Wolgast in a street fight.
Probably very little of it but these old boxing myths add a lot of romance to the sport and constantly debunking them achieves nothing imo. It's akin to telling a kid Santa's not real-suddenly Christmas isn't quite the same.
I once saw a photo of Bob Moha...As powerful looking picture of a fighter i ever saw...They called him "Caveman", and he certainly looked the part...fought Harry Greb many times....
thats the answer,james corbett is the man I'm talking about,well the article explains it clearly,he was technically ko'd,and well in a strange way hahaha.Sorry for the late response guys.
The thing is, most of us aren't kids, and are therefore perfectly capable of enjoying the finer things in life (like Christmas and boxing) without all of the falsehoods attributed to them.
