    Eder Jofre was a vegetarian. Does anyone know if he was a completely clean living man?

    Ricky Hatton has the day off while we debate this one.

    Yes he did, and was not short of vices, but for some reason he had a bing hang up about alchohol and tobaco. He even turned down lurative offers to lend his name to alchohol and tobaco products.

    Most boxers had a drink here or there.

    Even Rocky Marciano and Hopkins had a drink evey now and than.

    Gene Tunney was a clean living teetotaler who drank milk mostly (he advocated it) but in later years was a troubled man and became an alcoholic. Tommy Loughran was, on the other hand, a clean living devout Catholic.

    Gene and Don Fullmer are Mormons. There have been plenty of Muslims like Ali who have laced them up.

    John 'The Iceman' Scully never drank alcohol in his life, and at age 45 (?) he still spars 12 rounders.
