Name something you know about a fighter that many others might not know

ike quartey is now in the tile business and dibella said he's probably richer now than when he fought because he's got a monopoly on a lot of the hotels in his country.

i heard somewhere josito lopez had a job in real estate.

doubt that NO ONE here besides me knows these but they're sure to be new to lots of you:

Monzon smoked 2 packs a day, even smoked while doing roadwork.

SRR saw Lamotta in a restaurant before one of their fights and invited him to sit down. First thing SRR does to psyche him out is ask the waiter to get him a giant cup of cow blood, tells Lamotta it makes him feel invicible and gives him unlimited energy then slams the whole thing back. Lamotta (not being the brightest) bought it and looked at SRR like he was insane for the rest of the dinner.

Willie Pep had a short stint as a trainer and had a horrible temper, he would lose it on his fighters because he just couldn't understand why they weren't able to do the things that came so naturally to himself. He was seen smacking and swearing at his charges until he decided he couldn't take it.

SRR could've been a professional dancer, at age 10 he could emulate all of Bill Bojangles best moves.

While fighting the dirtiest fighter of all time Fritzie Zivic, Al bummy Davis took one of Zivics notorious thumbs to the eye and completely lost it. Davis landed no less than 10 consecutive low blows, the ref DQ'd him then Davis kicked the ref! after this he settles down and tried to resume the fight with Zivic! hahaha

Mayweathers favorite fighter ever is Aaron Pryor who he fights nothing like.

Joe Frazier fronted his own band and toured with them, he was an awful singer though.

Caballero is a popular dance hall singer in Panama.

Battling Siki would walk his pet Lion around Paris in the 20's drunk as **** with a gun in one hand and his pet tiger leash in the other getting horrified looks by all that passed. He'd walk around Paris and NY with his 2 great danesand gun in hand bucking off shots in the air like it wasn't to get his dogs to do tricks. After his career he'd frequent speakeasies in NY, drink copious amounts of alcohol, refues the tab and fight his way out of the joints hahaha.

Rock Allen beat Peterson, Alexander, Maidana and Prescott in the ams.

Berto beat bigger successful pros like MW contender Barker and SMW Andre Dirrel in the ams.
