    Ray Mancini in what i think was the 12th round where his knees buckled and he turned his back on Alexis. Alexis claimed Dat Moron (Tony Perez) should have stopped the fight

    as in Alexis opinion turning your back is a sin and means you should stop the ifhgt

    DAT MORON :rofl

    I bet you did not know that Dempsey knocked Bill Tate out cold on July 24, 1919 during sparring before the Willard match.

    for duran-leonard 2 the ring was on a raised platform and sagged in the early rounds.the supporting pole was about to snap so they put ten college boys who were doing security there under the ring to hold it up.if they didnt get under on time no mas would never have happened

    Does everyone know about Archie Moore's aboriginal diet he picked up on supposedly? Just chewing meat and not swallowing it.

    Ray Leonard was originally meant to fight Tommy Hearns in July 1978 for $100,000. But after returning from holiday, Angelo Dundee vetoed fight and Leonard fought Micky Ward's half brother and future trainer Dick Ecklund instead.

    Touche fenian 67?

    Probably not a major secret, but Willard's injury list after the Dempsey fight is astonishing, broken eye sockets and a dent in the skull if i recall rightly. I got this video where Ferdie Pacheco tells of it, i'll have a look soon and get back to the forum.
