    In the same article Whitey Bimstein said something to the effect that, when the Depression ended, the number of kid wanting to be fighters dropped 90%.

    Tough to blame a kid today if he can make a living other than by being hit in the face for choosing another avenue. Doesn't help the sport, but hell I didn't choose to be a fighter either.

    My father thought about fighting-but he said that meeting and talking to Fritzie Zivic dissuaded him. He sincerely vowed to kill me when he found out I was sneaking off to the gym.

    It really does take special men. I'm not at all ashamed to say I wasn't anywhere near that tough. I stuck with football...and the concussions and back and joint injuries that come with that
