  • Summary

  • In this episode, we check out the life of the man who inspired Sylvester Stallone to write the Rocky character. He came from the streets and loved a bar-room brawl even more than a fight in the ring. In boxing, he was known mainly for two things, being the bloodiest fighter, maybe in boxing history, and getting a shot, out of nowhere, to fight Muhammad Ali, for the heavyweight championship of the world! Life after boxing consisted of life selling liquor, legally, and for a little while, selling cocaine, illegally. A federal investigation brought an end to that, but years later, he's in trouble once more, this time for being involved with memorabilia forgery! Learn more about your ad choices.
