My father was a boxing fan, but what really got me hooked on boxing was when I started reading bios about Jack Dempsey back in my early teens. Dempsey had a fascinating life, and the bios were great fun to read. Anyway, a lot of folks might not know it, but Jack had an older brother named Bernie, an aspiring boxer himself, who helped train Jack when he first turned professional. Bernie was also the reason Jack got into boxing in the first place, and his training was the basis for what he was able to accomplish as a pro. Anyway, a little known bit of trivia for you.
Good OP Marb, I hadn't read that before.
