Don Jordan: Forgotten and bizarre welterweight champion

[goose 5]

When Jordan stated that French is the language of the Dominican Republic, I knew he was lying about growing up there.

I remember reading an interview with Eddie Futch,
and he said he found Jordan in Mexico City (on the verge of starving)
brought him up to the USA and in 20 months had him fighting for the title.
After two title defenses, he just walked away from Futch
( Futch couldn't even mention his name in the interview he was so bitter about it)

In the same book, Jackie McCoy said he had trained Don Jordan for a time,
but said Jordan was a 'chain-smoker" and drank "like a fish" too during training.
