I remember that fight. I saw everyone one of his fights after that. He showed his amazing talent from the beginning. Amazing speed and power. That was the beginning of a legend and the beginning of history being made. The 90's. Good o days.
Did you know that John L. Sullivan's friends list included the Bull Moose himself, Theodore Roosevelt. They became friends when TR was governor of New York
The victimhood in these docs about old black athletes is so weak. His wife said he had a drinking prob. Maybe stop drinking and you wouldn't get arrested smh. Excuses excuses
I didn't know the second film ever made was G. Jim Corbett's ass. It made thirty grand and I'm guessing most viewers weren't paying attention to the fight.
John L. Sullivan was a crude clubber, a bum who'd be destroyed by a modern club fighter...say many guys who've never fought in their lives and never seen one second of John L. on film
DLH was well spoken, polite and educated. Never said anything bad about his opponent and was always always a good sportsmanship after a fight. The only fighter Ive ever seen being marketed with Budweiser, METRX and McDonalds. He was a beast brother.
De Lahoya Is what you call a Chunt or Chunti in the Mexican Community. He can look like he knows English but he can also stare at you with a blank expression and pretend he doesn't know English. But he has to work hard because he's 2nd generation by the 3rd generation all bets are off.
After Muhammad Ali, George Forman and Mike Tyson.. Heavyweight is no more fun anymore.. So do after Sugar Ray, Hagler and Hearns..middleweight is no more fun..
