    Well, you know what they say about lefties and fighting/violence...

    I think you'd find that study rather interesting.

    Bob Fitzsimmons was probably a 'killer" in the ring....because he had the power to do it....and the rules back then put hurt opponents in jeopardy.

    Bob Fitzsimmons does have a couple gravestones to his name. I recall reading somewhere that he practiced excellence in body punching to prevent similar tragedies. He was on trial for manslaughter.

    Yes he was...like Monzon, Sonny was of the coldblooded variety. An interesting thread would be to list the coldblooded killers of boxing.

    Thank you for that -I sure did. Bert Lytell is my summer project this year and I'm wondering how to bring up the southpaw stance that would not be a regurgitation of the treatment I gave it in the "The Eighth God of War." You may have done me a great favor. If I use this article, I'll get back to you for credit.
