Battling Siki seems a character, more eccentric than Eubanks with a tragic death.

I read that according to James Toney, Siki was one of the fighters that Bill Miller had him study.
If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

I was right about to mention Siki. If anyone hasn't read Battling Siki, the biography by Peter Benson, you have to. Great read.Originally Posted by Master

Jack Dempsey. I simply love the way this guy fight's. The bell rings he works from beginning to end without stopping.
One that always interested me was Jersey Joe Walcott but hew didn't fight until 1930.

He was one of the roughest, toughest, hungriest desperados to ever step into a boxing ring. Aggression, meanness and an electrifying a performer as has ever laced up a pair of gloves. Probably the most famous sportman of his era.
