1970s middleweight Mike Nixon was the brother-in-law of the Quarry brothers. Nixon, in case you don't know, was a well-known journeyman who may have qualified as a top-20 fighter for a short while. I remember Mike Nixon well. Saw him fight many times. Held nice wins over Mike Rossman and Gert Steyn...

It was said that British middleweight champs (brothers) Pat and Les McAteer were uncles of footballer Jason McAteer of Liverpool and Ireland fame.

Lightweight champ Rodolfo Gonzalez and bantamweight champ Jose Becerra were cousins.

Al McCoy and Frddie Beshore lost 3 out of their last 4 before getting battered by Joe Louis and Ezzard Charles respectively. Also, Patterson's defense against Tom McNeely was no great shakes when Liston, Folley, Machen and Williams was standing in the way. McNeely's best wins were over Kitione Lave,...

I never understood the 'privacy' thing. IMDB shows DOB on the biggest celebrities and I don't see anyone suing them. So why would a 4-round clubfighter be a sudden priority on privacy? And I agree, that tidbit of info is vital when you're looking at a fighter's prime and when he was past it.

Kid Chocolate went unbeaten in his last 28 bouts.

It's much easier to 'win' a world title now than it was over 30 years ago. Absolutely. If you have even the slightest modicum of talent today, you'll be a belt-holder of some sort. But years ago, with one champ, there was a ton of very talented fighters dickering for position to get that title shot...

Well, I personally feel the most satisfying ring entrance was when Naz came in on the wires on a magic carpet. Satisfying because of the way the one dude tossed a cup of beer at him mid-entrance. But probably the most extravagant was Anthony Hembrick's synchronized-with-his-cornermen dance routine b...

Definitely the best. I did think Hagler-Antuofermo I was a good one too.
