On March 27th, 1982 both Wilfredo Gomez and Jeff Chandler defended their titles via 6th round knockouts..... nothing special about that right? Not unless you know that BOTH fights officially ended at 2:28 of the round.

If the great Featherweight champion Sandy Saddler and Rocky Marciano where to fight, Saddler would have had a 2 inch reach advantage, 70 inches to Marciano's 68.

Oscar De La Hoya released his first album on EMI/Latin Records. It was named "Oscar" and was successful. The album topped Billboard's Latin Dance charts for several weeks and "Ven a Mi," a single from the album was nominated for a Grammy.

Everyone speaks of "The Thrilla in manilla" as one of the best Heavyweight fights of all-time because they were practically killing each other, going bk and forth in the scorching heat for 14 rounds . Suprisingly the scores at the time of the stoppage had Ali winning rather easily 166-160, 166-162, 167-162.

Roy Jones Jr. was the first person in compubox history to go an entire round without being hit against Vinny Pazienza.

The average blue whale produces over 400 gallons of sperm when it ejaculates, but only 10% of that actually makes it into his mate. So 360 gallons are spilled into the ocean every-time he busts a nut, and ppl wonder why the ocean is so salty.

The percentage of Africa that is wilderness: 28%. The percentage of North America that is wilderness: 38%

Walker Smith is Ray Robinson. He was given that name on fight night and it took hold. Sugar was not his personal name, he was given it by the sports writers.
P4P was created as a means to express how great he was at potentially any weight.

One of the few who didnt have to invent a character.

Ali called himself the greatest. Tyson called himself the baddest man on the planet. Mayweather called himself TBE. But Ray Robinson was given the name Sugar and the accolades of being considered Pound for Pound the best!
