What Has NOT Happened In Boxing Yet?

[The Old LefHook]

Plenty of things have not happened yet, right? If this were 70 years ago we could say no man had ever regained the heavyweight championship.

What is it that is big, but has not happened yet, yet will happen in boxing?

Has a champion ever been declared the winner, having defended his title, but is then is found to be dead on his stool? I never heard of it. I don't think it happened. Given enough time, though, it will happen. Everything will happen.

In the greatest recorded size disparity, can the smaller man unseat the heavyweight champion? Canelo might give this record a shot.

There is the "has not happened," that you never expect, and the "has not happened," that you do expect. Go f'rt.

I expect a man taller than Valuev to eventually win a heavyweight championship.

The world awaits the first cross over champion.

I expect a man taller than Valuev to eventually win a heavyweight championship.

Yeah - bound to happen sooner or later!

- - First gay heavyweight champ though we may have had that with Lewis according to supposed gay insiders who specialized in outing supposed straights when they crashed our boxing forum.

Never been prouder when all the guys said they didn't care one way or the other and went about the usual boxing banter such that Mr Gay Intruder would quickly exit after havng failed his mission.

First Hvy champs from Timbuktu or Bolivia and so on and so forth.

A fighter taller than Lennox Lewis will win a middleweight title.

A fighter who has some form of enhancement surgery and is considered to have been given an unfair advantage; State commissions refuse to license him.

A 21st Century expansion of the Nolan Ryan 'bionic arm' dispute.

Maybe enhanced knuckles after hand surgery for a broken bone; or plastic protectors over the eyes but under the skin to stop cuts, or maybe even magic balls.

I wanted to say an age discrimination suit against a State commission, but maybe, just maybe, Fitzsimmons may have already tried that and lost.

But that was pre CR Act 1964, so maybe another suit with a different verdict is on its way.

Someone shot dead while in the ring fighting.

P.S. HS Wrestling circa 1971 - I had a teammate attacked by his opponent's mother as he was pinning the kid. She started smacking Ricky in the back of the head with her shoe.

A transsexual (W->M) wins a title.
