    Just re-read a boxing biography about a heavyweight champion in which the author claims the subject and another heavyweight champ are buried in the same cemetary and that this is the only instance of this.Anyone know the cemetary and the champions he is referring to?

    If I told you the title, you would know who one of the champs was!

    I read that somewhere years ago but couldn't for life of me remember the boxer buried near Johnson. I thought it may have been Marvin Hart !.But I think you cracked it old boy .
