Tommy Hearns v Dennis ANdries.

One of my fav fights, I wanted to cry watching Andries get up so many times.

No, I think The Boxer was by Simon and garfunkle wasn't it?

Not sure about highest grossing fight to be honest, I was hoping you lot would tell me

Holmes v Cooney must be up there, in terms of how much the total would be in today's currency.

lewis / tyson was the biggest grossing fight of all-time, holy / tyson 1 was the most ppv hits (charged at a lower fee).

Baer-Carnarra 14 knockdowns?

Holmes was also called the Black Cloud.

Norton was in Mandingo

I'm sure Dylan wrote songs about Carter, D. Moore and Ali.

MightyWarrior · Post by **MightyWarrior** » 28 Jul 2004, 12:24

All correct, not sure about the Ali song though..

DavidPayne · Post by **DavidPayne** » 28 Jul 2004, 12:29

I can hear the Ali song and I can hear the Ruben Carter song in my head.

PS Should I worry about that, it does drown out the voices though;-)

It's just when the voices say KILL KILL KILL you need to worry.
