Are or were their any successful boxers who were drunks?

Mando Ramos apparently.... was an alcoholic at 15, another west coast favourite was Frankie Durate.

Also the Australian, Young Griffo...

Manny Stewart said ‘Superbad’ Mays was the best amateur he ever trained. Despite him being a full blown alcoholic by his mid teens. The light had faded by the time he turned pro and like Wee Benny died his early 30s. The great ‘What If’.

Johnny Tapia wasted arguably the three and a bit best years of his career due to cocaine/alcohol addiction. Was more sniff than peeve with him tho.

I’m 40 and had my first drink age 15. If I hadn’t , you’d never have heard of Floyd Mayweather

Good fighter was Barleycorn!

He's knocked me on my fat hole more than once

It's a really good read. Paul Gibson and Eamonn dont appear to have spared the details.

Got it! Thanks pal can’t wait to get stuck into it.

John Murray liked a beer .

Jason and Nicky Booth, Scott Harrison, Eamonn Magee.

But they could all keep off it for a chunk of time.

Alan Minter was hitting it hard when I met him. Kevin Finnegan to boot. Michael Hunter used to like his pop but kept off it mainly in camp.
