    Joe Louis would be an Icelandic Saga I think:

    "Was Gunnar home?"
    That I do not know, but I do know that his poleax was home." Thereupon he fell dead to the ground.

    Terse and beautifully brutal without a hint of nonsense.

    Fritzie Zivic and Henry Miller - lots of below the belt action.

    Buster Douglas and John Kennedy Toole - one hit wonders

    Albert Camus and Marcel Cerdan - French, got lots of tail, and died young. Maybe they were really the same person?

    Ezra Pound and Charley Burely - everbody says their great but who really knows?

    Evander Holyfield and Norman Mailer - retire already!

    Gene Tunney and JD Salinger - don't retire yet.
