Summary

This week, we dip back into the brain damage sports with a man, who is nothing, if not entertaining. He's a boxer with flash & power, but the story isn't all happy. He made his way back, from a broken neck, all the way to ring, to box for another 10 years. He was a champion, a lunatic, and great quote. He lost his money, several times, but got arrested, even more. Drunk driving, fighting cops, fighting women in bars, fighting women at home, bad checks at casinos, rushing into someone's house, then biting them... And even had a major Hollywood movie made about his life. It's a lot. And so is he!!

Follow the dream to be Rocky, have a major Hollywood movie made about you, and spend all of your post career life, fighting in court, instead of the ring

Check us out, every Tuesday!

!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!
