I hadvn't posted this in a while, and I don't want it to get lost..so I figured I would re-post it. Rocky Marciano, with only 3 months of fighting experience, gets robbed against one of the best amatuer heavyweights in the world, 17-0(17kos) Coley Wallace. Wallace appeared the virtual clone stylewise and lookswise to Joe Louis. Wallace would go on to beat top amatuer heavyweights Bob Baker and Clarence Henry.

Just a small little connection I have with Mr. Coley Wallace.. About 2 years ago a huge hulk of a "woman" that was clearly not born a woman walked into Larry Holmes's gym. "She" was about 6'2, 245lbs with 20" biceps. This supposed female started working out and making it awkward for anyone who was unfortunate enough to be dragged into a conversation. This person claimed that Coley Wallace was their uncle, and proved it with some papers. Anyway, the thing saw my dad throwing me a medicine ball as I was doing sit ups with it. It wanted to give it a try, so when I finished my dad agreed to throw it the medicine ball for when it did sit ups. He instructed it to put its hands smack against its face and catch the 12.5lb ball. It was dumb enough to do it. I happened to be walking by when I saw my dad hurl the medicine ball at the man/woman's head as hard as he could and it smacked into its face, knocking off their wig which went rolling across the floor. The whole gym was in stitches laughing at "her" scrambling to pick the wig up and put it back on. After making a small scene this person made the mistake of going to get changed in the locker room for women, and when Larry Holmes saw this, he yelled "JEFF (his son-in-law and trainer at the gym) GET THAT THING OUTTA THERE!" to which Jeff replied "You tell it to get out of there, I'm not going near it." That was the last time it ever came into the gym.
