    Billy Collins being savagly beaten with loads gloves by Luis Resto by the instruction of Panana Brown was the biggest disgrace in sports history, Collins career ended that night and he suffered brain damage on count of the beating. He only lived to his early 30's because his life went to hell because the man that stepped into the ring that night at the opening bell was not the man who left at the end of the fight

    Yes, this was a major digrace. One of the saddest stories in any sport.
    His parents refused to open the doors to Louis when he kept standing there for hours in front their small house with the intent to apologize....

    Panama Lewis. If we're gonna shame a man, let's make sure we get his name right. And this one deserves a lot of shame.

    Funny how things are conveniently forgotten.
    Lots of Americans also believe they went to war with the Nazis to save the Jews. :patsch
