He made love to over 20,000 women, most men can only dream about that. If Ike could bulk up, and maintain his pimp hand, yes, he could have been the heavyweight champ.Kalan wrote:Speaking of Wilt Chamberlain... He said he loved music and loved to sing---but not when people were around.. He was shy about his singing voice.. He knew people handed out complements that weren't sincere, especially to guys like him.. He said he only sang in the shower, when he was driving by himself, or working alone -- for his own entertainment and amusement like most "singers".. We all do that.. It's too easy to listen to the world's best singers when you throw parties and stuff.. He had a deep bass singing voice and so it wasn't conducive to singing a lot of popular songs or the music he liked best anyway.. He could sing The Ballad of John Henry... Sixteen Tons... North to Alaska... Sink the Bismarck... and stuff like that, so there wasn't a really great selection for a voice as low as his.
He would've needed 6 months of voice training to sing pro -- and it would've cut into other things he was doing. However he was serious about Boxing Ali
