I beat Harold Johnson and I also beat the father of one of Mike Tyson's opponents.

Willie Pastrano

Correct

It is rumored I once ate 52 hot dogs before a match and they had to put a slit in my boxing trunks so they would fit.

Eric Esch ?

Buster Mathis?

Good fight, very bad decision.

Kym

Angelo Dundee's stooge, Harold Valan.

My brother was a pop star, had hits in the 80's and 90's.

nice one!!

ill have another go.

I had my 10th fight on the same night as George Foreman fought. We are both Americans but I fought over 3000 miles away.

I claim that I knocked Kid Gavilan down in a sparring session and that I boxed rings around Joe Louis, even though I was much smaller than he was.

All this despite the fact that I never had a pro fight.

And the clueless media stooges believe every word I say and dutifully write them down.

One of the fighters I trained [with much fanfare] for a big fight lasted 58 seconds and another lasted 91 seconds.

It was their fault--not mine.

Eddie Futch?

The hot dog eater was Two Ton Tony Galento...

Who were Futch's fighters that got blown out so badly?

One was Duane Bobick (against Norton). Not sure who the other was.

Could be the Peter Principle with Bobick...You rise to your level of incompetence...In boxing you beat you beat up everybody you can beat up until you move up to where the level of competition is so good that you're the one that's getting beat up...

Our friend also said Futch threw the Thrilla In Manila by not letting Frazier come out for the fifteenth round...My dad was blind in one eye from WW ll and my uncle was blind in one eye from boxing (detached retina)...If Joe had sight problems in one eye and the other eye was closing how could he see...

Try it at home...Close one eye three quarters of the way and the other eye half of the way and you can't see very well...

Even Frazier says Futch saved him from possible blindness:

checked and found that yes.... tony galento was the hotdog eater. willie pep was second and manuel ortiz placed in the top five.

I was in Cassius Clay's corner for the Alec Mittif fight and Floyd Patterson fight...

I was stopped in the ninth round by a man thought to be crazy who had beat Ezzard Charles twice...

My buddy who aspired to be a boxer and had all of four fights fought him twice in 77 and 78 and got beat both times...My buddy was 28...The other boxer was forty six-----not a hint...It won't help...I don't think my buddy had a clue of the history of the man he was fighting...

Eddie Futch?

See, that's the problem with our friend...One of the fighters that got blown out in ninety one seconds was Michael Spinks... If Futch gets the blame for training a fighter who got knocked out in ninety one seconds does he get the credit for training that same fighter to be the first light heavyweight to beat a heavyweight in a championship bout in history? The other fighter is of course Ken Norton...Does Futch get credit for training Ken Norton who had three competitive bouts with Ali, with Ali winning two of them, and all three close enough to argue about?

It's the lack of balance...

I'm guessing that "crazy man" was Hurricane Jackson.

I have no idea who the hell you are, though.

OK, my turn!

I am a two-division champion. I am the only fighter in the last 100 years to have become the lineal and undisputed champion in both of these weight classes. I went outside my home country for all but one of my title fights.

Who the f*ck am I??

Correct!

I am one of the greatest fighters in my division and one of the very best that DC ever produced. I also tried going for a second world title in a higher weight class, but was summarily dismissed.
