Hi Buddy.
Regarding your pics, of course Monzon should be included in the title, not so sure Davis is a candidate, as far as I can make out, he was born and brought up in a rough neighborhood, in and around Brownsville, was indeed a street urchin, and was scrapping at a early age, graduated into the pro ranks with a rep as a tough, tenacious, brawler, with a vaunted left hook, had a long run of unbeaten fights including a sound beating of the much loved Canzoneri , which didn't help his cause to be liked and accepted, the foul filled brawl with the saintly Zivic has gone down in history of course, thinking he might have been a little misunderstood at the time, he came across has insular and brooding from what I have read, perhaps his upbringing and peers had led him to be such, cannot find any references to wife beating, drug taking,or run ins with the authorities, then he sort of redeemed himself at the end, by tackling 4 armed robbers, with nothing but his fists, so all in all, not putting him the same category as the likes of Monzon, if you don't mind robert.
