Thread: Iconic Boxing Photos: Post them here!

Had to look it up, Arlington National Cemetery Washington DC. I thought Joe Louis would be buried in his home city but he did serve in the 2nd world war.

Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston 2



It freaks me out this photo.

For one you'd think such an iconic fight would be held in some massive place but no the second Ali Liston match was held in a hockey rink in Lewiston, Maine and two the way everyone is smartly dressed, seated, still and motionless. It almost looks like a theater crowd or japanese boxing crowd or some1 giving a speech at a political rally

I mean if you were to take out the ring you'd never guess that the ppl were watching boxing. I guess in the UK we are more used to major boxing fights having a football (soccer for my USA brothers) atmosphere but some guy set up a remote camera in a corner of the arena to capture the entire stadium during the fight.

This isn't an iconic photo but I just think it's funny

Too Much Greatness

Ezzard Charles, Jake LaMotta, Ray Robinson, Ike Williams, Willie Pep & Manuel Ortiz



Ali Training

"Been chopping trees. I done something new for this fight. I done wrestled with an alligator. That's right. I have wrestled with an alligator. I done tussled with a whale"...........We all know the rest



"I can't sing and I can't dance, but I can lick any SOB in the house.' - Jack Dempsey

Years before becoming the World Heavyweight Champion, Jack Dempsey left the family home at the age of 16. Dempsey found himself homeless, hungry and poor. He'd visit saloons and challenge to fight anyone in the house and bets would be made, Dempsey would usually win.

the reason rocky retired

On Jan. 19, 1981, a young man going by the name of Joe was working up the nerve to jump out of a window in the Miracle Mile neighborhood of Los Angeles. There were people on the street telling him to jump to his death while the police tried to coax him inside. Joe told them that he was “no good,” but a few minutes later boxing legend Muhammad Ali drove up the street in a Rolls-Royce. He ran into the building and up to a nearby window where he shouted for the young man to re-evaulate his life. According to the New York Times Ali shouted, “You’re my brother! I love you, and I couldn’t lie to you,” before getting out on the fire escape and guiding the man inside and taking him to a near by veteran’s hospital.

Pacquiao is one of the best boxers of all time, but even the greats aren’t immune to getting knocked out
