Tunney rates Darcy greatest middleweight of all time.

Great contribution! (And excellent compelling reading to engage my mind for the day after a difficult night.)

 

bollocks...

 

What a great article about Les Darcy, who was cut down at a tragic young age...How great could he have been ? No way of telling but Darcy was another example of
tragedies that betook the middleweight division..For example :
Jack Dempsey the Nonpareil--died of consumption at the age of 33.
Stanley Ketchel---died from a gunshot to the chest age oe 24
Billy Papke- killed his wife and commited suicide
Harry Greb- died at the age of 32 from a breathing operation
Tiger Flowers- Died 1 year after Greb from a operation to remove scar tissue from eyes.
Les Darcy- great Aussie MW died at tender age of 22 from infection in Tenn.
Dave Sands- next to Darcy, best Aussie MW died from a truck accident at young age
Marcel Cerdan- great French MW died in plane crash,only after LaMotta claimed injury
in rematch. Rescheduled to fight months later Cerdan died in plane crash over the Azores
Truly the MW division had so many tragic deaths in it's history...

 

Don't forget Kid McCoy. Another who murdered his wife and years later committed suicide.

 

Surf, speaking of killings :
I just made a killing on Wall street ! I shot my broker. atsch
