I think Jesse James was found in a snake infested swamp, if I remember correctly. Hughes was murdered during the hottest streak of his boxing career.
In an era of everyone getting their 15 minutes, Gilberto Roman truly is grotesquely ignored by even sites as good as this.
Kid Akeem/Quiroga was an amazing fight, sadly Robert was taken from us too early as well....
