    Boxing 1918 - 1919 during Spanish Flu

    From Jan 1918 to Dec 1920, the world was rocked by the Spanish Flu pandemic, it infected 500 million people—about a quarter of the world's population at the time. The death toll is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest epidemics in human history.

    During that time:

    Harry Greb fought 91 times

    San Langford fought 49 times

    Benny Leonard fought 48 times

    Gene Tunney Fought 26 times

    Jack Dempsey fought 24 times

    We were so naive as a species then and that is why those numbers are so high. Now we have learned from our eras and HAD TO SHUT THINGS DOWN!!..Maybe athletes will take this tile to improve and learn what is really important to them.

          How can you be apart of a thread when you are blocked from it?

            Then accept the fact that you were blocked and move on.

              How can someone else know that someone else is blocked from a thread?
