Fighters whom you know the most about?

[IronDanHamza]

Probably Harold Johnson or Dick Tiger.

I know a lot about a long list of fighters especially Carlos Monzon and Alexis Arguello but they are popular fighters who have a lot of fans with a lot of knowledge about them unlike Johnson and Tiger.

Okay, I'll try. But I read it a long time ago and it involves a lot of paraphrasing which may take away from it. One good thing is that I can give a source for the story. It came from Teddy Brenner's book, "Only the Ring Was Square".

Brenner was a longtime boxing publicist, matchmaker, etc. When Liston was champion, he was assigned to escort him to London for an appearance. When they got to Liston's hotel room, Brenner asked him if there was anything he needed. Sonny growled that he wanted some female company. Brenner went out and brought back an English lady. He also sent up a bottle of Scotch and a plate of finger sandwiches.

The next morning when Brenner returned, he heard them screaming all the way down the hall. He asked what was wrong. The lady said that Liston "****ed the **** out of her all night and only got paid 10 quid" (I'm totally making up the English currency because I don't remember). A shocked Brenner said "Sonny, that's $25!". Liston said "I know, and she ate all the mother****ing sandwiches".

That's a really good book actually. Brenner tells another funny story about Ali taking a really ugly and overweight girl up to his hotel room. When he returned an hour later, Brenner said "how could you champ, she was so ugly!" Ali replied "You may say that Teddy, but who would believe you? With me being so pretty and she so ugly, who's ever gonna believe I made it with her!"

Floyd Patterson at his best was a monster. He might have Been KD alot, but he got up to kick ass

He would've been a GOAT LHW imo but all the money was at HW. It's a shame he wasn't a little bigger and mentally stronger.
