John L Sullivan was once dropped heavily by a woman!

It was part of his act when he offered prizes to anyone who could last 3 rounds with him, the promoters wife used to have a go, she'd jump in with comedy bloomers on and they would fool around. One night tho John L probably half pissed or even drunker mistimed a stinging shot to her cheek. Reflex and instict kicked in and she lashed out with a wild right that hit Sullivan flush on the jaw and dropped him, for some time apparently!

He is Veagan I believe, not Vegitarian.

I imagine there will be a fair share of them throughout Boxing history especially in the last 20-25 years but I don't know of any.

Julio Cesar Chavez had an abnormally thick skull.

Joe Grim supposedly had twice as thick of a skull as a normal man, and lost every fight but was never KOed despite fighting Jack Johnson, Bob Fitzsimmons, Joe Gans, and a number of other words class opponents.

Both Boxrec and Wikipedia list him as turning pro at 13. Still.....imagine a 13 year old fighting a 25 year old and beating him? Thats just crazy!
