Who will win and why and how
Thank for your response
Just read his bio recently. He beat Carpentier when he was supposed to take a dive. Another guy who unfortunately was the wrong color for his era. He was portrayed as some creature from the jungle, but in reality he could speak five or so languages and said he never even saw the jungle. Not sure how he'd do against today's LHW's, but he was certainly a great fighter.
CC for the Battling Siki reference. I read about him in an old almanac of all things.
He was a decorated veretan in the French army in WW1. I have his bio in my library.
Got abducted from his homecountry at a young age. Stayed in my country for quite a while and even married a local girl (i refer to the country of The Netherlands or Holland)
Was shot and killed in Hell's kitchen. Lousy ending for a very good fighter who fought on in that strange life of his
Saw a great French-made documentary about Siki once, Went to Senegal and the place he came from, then to Rotterdam where he lived and finally to Hell's Kitchen. What an amnazing life. His first job in France was a gigolo and he used to stroll down the Champs Elysse with a lion on a leash.
