Boxing Trivia (What only Hardcore fans know)

I think on two different occasions he was going to fight a black. I forgot with whom. Langford maybe.

Rummaging through a few old Ring magazines that has stories on Tex Rickard and why he didn't let Dempsey fight other than whites. No names mentioned on who Dempsey turned down.

That's one thing great about magazines.

Perused table of contents. With the internet great stories get buried. Who wants to do a search from 71-90 only to see nothing relevant. A few pages back on this thread I mentioned two attorneys who fought each other.

Article on the table of contents led me there "Two attorneys settle out of court-in a ring"

I loved the ring magazine because of the history of boxing it taught you even if sometimes I felt is was a bit a bit too nostalgic to the old fighters.

Three unrelated fighters: Milton McCrory, Duane Thomas and Jimmy Paul all of whom would become world title holders, all lived on the same street as children.

Wasn't Jimmy Paul Kronk's first world champ ?
Amazing they all lived in the same street didn't know that.

The other Lightweight champ Hilmer Kenty was Kronk's first, just beating Tommy by a few months.
