What are some good stories about the legendary sparring in Philadelphia....Briscoe,Qawi,Spinks,Frazier,Parker, etc. The names go on and on.... I remember reading somewhere that Curtis Parker owned everybody in the gym....Are there any stories about Briscoe and Qawi (Braxton)...Two of my favorites...What do Philly fighters think of Detroit fighters?
\ Don't actually know what Philly fighters think of Detroit fighters, but one Thomas Hearns came to Philly and somewhat got his ass handed to him by Curtis Parker.
It has been said that the beatings some of them took shortened long potential successful careers in such boxers as Frazier, Meldrick Taylor, Mathew Saad Muhammed.
