Jack Palance was reportedly a boxer around the time of WWII, I think the war may have killed his career off.
He fought under the name Brazzos, not Palance. His career record is an intriguing 0-1-0, with a decision loss to future contender Joe Baski. But he claimed to have had other fights.SolomonDeedes wrote:I hadn't realised till I looked it up how little information there is on Palance's boxing career. He has an intriguing 0-0-0 record on boxrec.
Funny thing is they have Jack Palance listed with his alias of Jack Brazzo and Jack Brazzo listed separately with his alias of Jack Palance.raylawpc wrote:He fought under the name Brazzos, not Palance.

All I know is that he took the name "Palance" long after he quit boxing.SolomonDeedes wrote:Funny thing is they have Jack Palance listed with his alias of Jack Brazzo and Jack Brazzo listed separately with his alias of Jack Palance.raylawpc wrote:He fought under the name Brazzos, not Palance.

This is the correct answer for question A. Paul Anderson, still considered one if the strongest men to ever live had a brief 4 fight professional career.hofguy wrote:Strongest would be Paul Anderson, the strongman & Olympic weightlifting gold medalist. He was from Georgia, so was probably nicknamed the "Georgia Peach'.
Anderson still holds the record for the most weight lifted off the face of the earth by a human. Pudz would be close, but he's a professional mixed martial artist, not boxer.evrenb wrote:How about pudzianowski?? 5 times world strongest man?
