    How Cus D'Amato, one man, was able to dethrone the IBC mafia in court. I'm sure Cus had connections...

    Also, did Don King frame Mike Tyson with Desiree Washington?

    How did the discussion meander into the subject of Italian suppositories? Mamma Mia!

    I would love to know exactly who has been on some form of PEDs and for how long.

    Yes, of course. That’s an excellent choice! With complete details, we could maybe then downgrade their credits or void them altogether accordingly - what do you reckon?

    It would mean reassessing one's position that we've established as great. It could also cause one to reassess why heavies shot from 'giants' at 217 in the 1970s to the 240s today and realizing there never was a reason to create a cruiserweight division. There are so many variables here it could boggle the mind.

    Whether Riddick Bowe really was scared of Lennox Lewis?

    Secondarily, who shot Roger Rischer? He refused to name the shooter as he laid dying with the police questioning him.

    Another favorite of mine was the enigmatic, tragic Eddie Machen.

    All very true - and it would be really interesting to be informed on the random PED users, in whatever shape or form of the drugs, during its embryonic usage days - there could be some real surprises there.

    Now, in the current day, there are so many fighters we assume are on the gear, basically a case of guilty until proven innocent - the true exceptions these days are perhaps those who haven’t touched the stuff at all.

    I know nothing of this rumor but sounds like equipoise (boldenone).

    Recording Artist Barry Mann did in his only one hit wonder in 1961, maybe it was the theme to Floyd Patterson vs Ingo III. Lol.
