Which boxer(s) of the past was the biggest party animal(s)? (league format)?

good thread

Chavez Sr, he like the booze and everybody was invited in Culiacan

Wilfredo Gomez and Wilfred Benitez , it was once said that Benitez only would only train two weeks for fights!

Arturo "Chunder" Gatti liked the odd drink or 2 (dozen).

surprised nobody mentioned pernell haha. i believe arguello was into the blow as well. i've also heard that jermain taylor is a big drinker

Mi vida loca.

Gatti was also known to be a party animal.

I just finished a biography of Duran and I would be shocked if anyone had ever partied harder than he did. Well he's paying for it today. He looks like a beached whale, 5'7" with enough belly for 7'7". I was really surprised when I met him, but he is a very nice guy otherwise. A National Hero here in Panama.

Duran vs JOnny Tapia for the crown?

Mike Tyson would party his ass off!! Mike Tyson if given the chance he will rape you!!:439:

chavez?:footinmou:footinmou

I just finished a biography of Duran and I would be shocked if anyone had ever partied harder than he did.

From Bert Sugar and Teddy Atlas's book... 10. Jack Johnson - Loved the white women. :swag: 9. Willie Pastrano - Caught by Angelo Dundee the night before a fight banging an airline stewardess in the hotel elevator. 8. Carlos Monzon - Womanizer, party animal. Banged models and actresses all over Europe and South America. 7. Maxie Rosenbloom - Partied all the time, some times the night before a fight or during the day of it. 6. Tony Janiro - Handsome playboy, Jake Lamotta's wife said he was good looking, Jake then put a whooping on him. 5.Jack Delaney - Womanizer 4. Harry Greb - Boozehound 3. Lew Jenkins - Party animal, probably fought drunk 2. Max Baer - Womanizer and party animal 1. Mickey Walker - Huge boozehound Harry Greb was reputed to be more a womanizer than a boozehound. In fact although i have read much about Greb for many years, I never heard that he was ever a boozehound. He was described by an acquaintance one time as having casual sex, getting dressed, going to thr arena waltzing through 10 rounds and then going back to the hotel room and the girl. He was notorious for this sort of behaviour, and all ther experts talked about it. But not booze. By the way, during the years that those books you quoted mentioned, about Walker, Greb etc. alcohol was prohibited in the United States, and was hard to obtain. had to be smuggled in from Canada. The beer was made locally by Mafia mobs. In fact, President Woodrow Wilson's foolish ambition was a HUGE benefit to the Mafia, and made them what they later became, from obscure Semi-Secret Old Country Italian Societies, to Murder, Drugs and Prostitution Mobs. The Irish and Jews also got into the act in a minor way, with gambling etc. Las Vegas was founded by the Jewish Mob. These Prohibition years inspired the well known, long running TV show.."The Untouchables", which starred Robert Stack as Eliot Ness.

Hatton? Delahoya? Calzaghe? surely Robinson, Duran etc liked to party, who else? im struggling to think who snorted the most coke, drank the most etc maybe break it down into seperate categories, perhaps make like a league format for example, i think Hatton would snort Calzaghe under the table if they were to ever meet in a nightclub if Hatton was to meet Oscar? I dunno, toss up right there, judging by the fact Oscar is on that pretentious bull**** tip constantly, he's possibly been sniffing for years so who would win in a h2h contests, include your own 'champions', explain why they would win Nah, the people you are quoting, Hatton Calzaghe Oscar etc are Law breakers, involved in VICE, drugs, which kill thousands every year and lead hundreds of thousands every year into miserable addictions and degredation. That's not "living it up". At a guess, my choices would be Max Baer and Jack Dempsey (and Hector Camacho up to a point). Baer lived it up so much that his nickname was "Madcap Maxie". Dempsey, before he fought and lost to Tunney lived it up in Hollywood for 3 years or more. He was basically retired. People don't seem to know these things. Those were simpler and more innocent days.

Ruben olivares. Drank like a fish night before a fight sometimes.

Sugar Ray Leonard

Mike Tyson

johnny tapia, rocky lockridge, mando ramos, tony ayala jr,

Camacho always had the best coke, Calzaghe a runner up.

You're really struggling to think of boxers that liked to party ?. :nonono: Pretty much all heavies from the 80's not going to name them all. Carlos Monzon, Carlos Ortiz, Nicolino Locche, Wilfred Benitez, Macho Camacho, Edwin Rosario, Esteban DeJesus, Mike Ayala, Oscar Bonavena, Ray Leonard, Etc etc etc
