Ex-champ Rocky Lockridge delivers sweet KO in the street?

I remember an interview with Tony lopez years ago in which he said that once he became world champion, people were always challenging him. He said he'd tell them "Go ahead and punch first; I guarantee you that you will miss. Then I'll punch back and I guarantee you that I won't miss."
I read after he retired that his bar brawls were legendary in Sacramento.

If you're that dumb, you really do deserve to have to eat your meals through a straw for a few months.

I think Wlad does the smart thing though... I can see a guy picking a fight with a boxer, then when it aint going his way pull out a knife or a gun. It's always lose-lose for a fighter

Most anyone who picked a fight with Wlad wouldn't know things didn't go their way until the next morning in the ER lol, though I see your point of course others would get involved etc.

In the early 70s, my Father was good friends with a guy named Buddy Boggs, who was ranked 8th in the world at welterweight around that time.

Anyway, Boggs told my Dad a story of a big guy at a bar who had been drinkin picking a fight with him. Boggs told him "I'm a pro fighter and ranked 8th in the world right now, I'm not gonna mess up my hands on your ugly face".

So the guy took 6 or 7 swings at Boggs, who slipped the punches easily, then the big guy was out of breath and told him "Okay you can leave now"

Boggs just smiled and said "Alright thanks".

I read an interview with former contender and title challenger Kenny Lane and they asked him, while sitting in a bar, if he was ever challenged. He said yes, and that he told them he was a professional fighter and only fought for money. The interviewer asked, what if the guy put $20 on the bar. Lane responded "Like I said, I'm a professional fighter..."

Gotta love this guy! I'd love to see someone do this to Lil Floyd!

Same punch he hit the drunk guy with 30 years later.
