No, I think The Boxer was by Simon and garfunkle wasn't it?
Not sure about highest grossing fight to be honest, I was hoping you lot would tell me
Holmes v Cooney must be up there, in terms of how much the total would be in today's currency.

lewis / tyson was the biggest grossing fight of all-time, holy / tyson 1 was the most ppv hits (charged at a lower fee).

Baer-Carnarra 14 knockdowns?
Holmes was also called the Black Cloud.
Norton was in Mandingo
I'm sure Dylan wrote songs about Carter, D. Moore and Ali.

All correct, not sure about the Ali song though..

I can hear the Ali song and I can hear the Ruben Carter song in my head.
PS Should I worry about that, it does drown out the voices though;-)
