Was it Ayala who supposedly beat up Pipino Cuevas in sparring when he (Ayala) was about 15 or 16? Allegedly?

Yep. And I think it was proven that Cuevas was in another state at the time

I think Ayala was a mere boy when he handled Cuevas. Cuevas' manager was asking him afterwards, 'Aren't you ashamed at what he did to you?' and all Cuevas could mutter was, 'Increible!'

That's roughly how Berger related the tale.

Just another sparring story legend.

A little punk ass like Ayala, who was supposedly 13 at the time, would have been road kill for a pure, mature puncher like Pipino.

Don't believe the hype. The Ayalas were always full of BS.

An autopsy has confirmed Ayala died of a heroin overdose.

It was Phil Berger relating the story, a shrewd observer who was entrenched in boxing gyms. He was not a man to place confidence in pugilist fantasia.

Big surprise.

He should have taken his final needle several decades earlier and saved the women of San Antonio from some sleepless nights

I agree though it seems callous, he seems to have caused an awful lot of pain and misery. I'd like to think if I were going to cause such horrible harm to people (rape etc) that I'd take myself out of the game - treat myself to a really big hit of smack and not wake up.

I think the tying up, rapes and sodomy he did were worse than selling.

So your answer to which ones have you researched is "none at all".

Berger, who was up close and in the game, related the story. That counts for something.

You - nobody - contests the story, because of your brainless received wisdom 'sparring stories are all myths'. Page knocking down Tyson would get the same dismissal from you, had it not been captured on videotape.

Can you prove a Greek conquest if we only have Herodotus' word for it? 'Prove it to me, or it never happened!' Where does it end, using your silly logic?

I'll continue to take sparring stories with a grain of salt like most others do.
