What’s your favorite fact about your favorite fighter?

Little Red Lopez and his wife Bonnie have been together for 50 years. They always seemed like such a great match back in the day and it's good to see that it lasted.

 

My favorite fought until he was 40 and was never knocked out. Started at Jr. middleweight and ended at Cruiserweight.

 

Not necessarily my favourite fighter but I thought it very cool when I found out Floyd Patterson had a private pilots licence - something that Ali could never replicate.

In the skies, Ali was The Rabbit, not Floyd!

 

Joe Bugner played one of the Stormtroopers in The Empire Strikes Back.

 

lamotta isn't my favorite but i like him.

the hustler is the best film ever, i have watched it at least 20 times.

found out a few weeks ago that jake is in it, i had never noticed.

 

Marvin Hagler used to have hair!

Lennox Lewis loves playing chess!

 

When Duran kissed Esteban de Jesus who was dying of aids

 

It's one of my top 10 films too. Magnificent.

 

Richard Dunn was asked to become a member of 1970s 'Scrumpy & Western' novelty pop act The Wurzels, due to his resemblance to a cider drinking country bumpkin, but he turned this down to fight Ali.

 

That is brilliant

This guy’s pet cat once tore a woman’s arm so badly that he paid the woman £250,000 to go away even though she was trespassing on his property when the kitty cat attacked her, and he probably didn’t need to pay her anything.
What a guy, eh.


Of course…who else could it be but Mr Mike Tyson. And of course his pet cat was no ordinary little kitty…it was a great big flipping tiger!

 

Roberto Duran once met a girl when he was around 15 and wanted to take her home, when they were suddenly ambushed by a group of 5 older guys that wanted to beat Duran up and take the girl with them. Duran knocked them out but one guy managed to cut Duran with a knife from behind. All of them were arrested and released shortly after. Duran's mother sent him to his aunt's house for a bit, and shortly after a man comes in claiming to be her husband. It was one of the guys that tried to jump him, his own uncle. After a long time, Duran proceeded to hold a party for him in his own house.
