    I saw Al[Bummy Davis] fight many times. The best left hook I ever saw in a fighter.He came from a murderous neighborhood when he started out as a prelim fighter,the neighberhood where Murder Inc. ruled his area...Davis and Zivic had a wild shootout and fought like two pit bulls in 1940.
    I saw Al Davis a couple of weeks before he got shot trying to prevent a robbery in a bar. He died a hero....

    Galindez could be a ferocious animal when he was desperate.

    Cute way to open the Pandora's Box of smartassedness, but you're not quite as smart assed as you think you are. You left out the "Motor City Cobra" and "Easton Assassin." (Actually Hearns qualifies under both his Cobra and "Hit Man" monikers.)

    You both left out the Latin Snake Sergio Mora. For shame.
