I'm somewhat interested in boxing, and I'm even considering taking it up myself (strictly for exercise; my vision is imperfect, and thus, I am not allowed to fight.)
Also, last year, when all the Borders stores closed down, I bought a biography of Barney Ross and I was impressed. Beat Boxers, Hitler, and heroin. Damn. And if the name sounds familiar, it's because Sly Stallone seems to admire him as well; he named the main character in The Expendables after him. I may put a stone on Barney Ross' grave next time I'm out in Rosemont.
Here's one of his fights. Sorry for the foreign language commentary:
