    Joe was also a devil for p*ssy ,a trainer of the time said, "his sex life drained him". I see where you're coming from and agree.
    Peter Jackson sustained a broken rib which punctured a lung in the Slavin fight, this was blamed for his contracting TB , but who can say?

    Senya as always you come on with useful info, thanks. I was wondering about that cos I thought it was a lung disease. What K said could be cos Gans was killing himself to make weight and his immune system might have opened the door for a relapse if he had if before.
    What Are the Symptoms of TB?
    The general symptoms of TB disease include feelings of sickness or weakness, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. The symptoms of TB disease of the lungs also include coughing, chest pain, and the coughing up of blood. Symptoms of TB disease in other parts of the body depend on the area affected.

    Certainly had to work hard for their purses, 40+ rounds incredible.

    Which means he had it during the last two Nelson fights at least, which is remarkable too, since those weren't exactly short fights !
