    I just finished watching Diggstown. In the movie a ficticious fighter named Honey Roy Palmer beats 10 men in 24 hours. Seriously, which fighter or fighters do you think could do this? Consider conditioning, punching power, and stamina. Its obvious someone like a young Mike Tyson could do it....who else could?

    Obviously, this depends on the men.

    Ok lets say 10 journeymen because 10 contenders would be too much.

    I bet Jack Johnson could have pulled this off during his era.
    (He prob did, I can imagine he knocked out quit a few before and after his fight's..lol)

    A lot of fighters could have.

    Bob Fitzsimmons once knocked out seven fighters back to back in under 19 rounds and all were over 200 lbs to his 167 or whatever.

    Tony Gallento also knocked out six fighters ack to back while swilling beer between rounds.

    If they were journeymen then a world class fighter can just go through them.

    Johnson was waylaid by a gang of toughs in London one night, he is supposed to have kod 5 of them and the others ran for it.

    LaMar Clark made a career of knocking out local would-be toughs and assorted spuds and apparently stopped 6 men in a total of 7 rounds in one day.

    The man had a 90% KO record with a 44-3 (43) record but literally fought guys with 0-7,0-3 or 2-9 records exclusively,except for a young Cassius Clay who KO'd him in 2.

    A true sideshow fighter if ever there was one.

    I love that movie:good My old buddy Alex Garcia takes a dive at the end:lol: Use to train at Bennys jet Center in Van Nuys when he was coming up, I was a young teen but he always talked with me alot was real cool. Ate lunch with him a couple times. I like when he was ready to finish off Lou Gossett and James Woods whistled and put his thumb down and Garcia took a dive:lol: Tex Cobb was in that movie too.

    Okay but to answer your question those guys werent journeyman they were more like toughman type guys. I think any top10 or even 20 heavyweight could whup 10 toughman guys in one night. Even alot of elite world class guys in the lower weights could pull it off even though the opponents were heavyweight types.

    There was an old time character that was an old legend of the town that was suppose to be a fictitious type like Lamar Clark in that movie. I believe thats the record that Lou gossets charachter was trying to break.
