This is painful to watch. In 1996 Polish heavyweight boxer Andrew Golota was on his way to the big time. He was convincingly beating former champ Riddick Bowe when he repeatedly hit Bowe with low blows and was diqualified. A few months later the two met in a rematch. The same thing couldn't happen again, could it? Hey, that's why boxing writers dubbed Golota 'The Foul Pole!'

You can't get any more unintentionally ironic than this 1956 magazine ad...the 'Drop Dead Cigarette Box' shaped like a coffin.

These are the final two round of the gold medal boxing match in the light heavyweight divison of the 1960 Rome Olympics. Cassius Clay of the United States outpoints Poland's Ziggy Pietrzykowski. I wonder whatever became of that Clay fellow.

This is one of these songs that have so many versions. Funny how little things will strike a chord in ones memory. All it took to recall this one was the word, swinging. Bing Crosby in the guise of a priest was a thing that most will remember, and the amount of films from around this time that had this kind of storyline are too many to mention. This clip is from, Going My Way, A two tissue box movie.

George Formean makes the first defense of his world heavyweight championship in Tokyo on September 1, 1973. Foreman had won the crown in January by obliterating Joe Frazier. Foreman's opponent this night is the overmatched Jose Roman. Don't get up to get a beer.

The first black boxer to hold the world heavyweight title was Jack Johnson of Galveston, Texas. Johnson held the crown from 1908 through 1915. A superb defensive fighter, he would sometimes go through several rounds without his opponent landing a meaningful punch. When he beat Canada's Tommy Burns for the title in Australia in 1908, correspondent Jack London wrote, 'Not one second of any round could legitimately be scored for Burns.' Johnson so outclassed his opposition that his title reign inspired the Great White Hope movement in America to find someone with the proper pigmentation to beat him. Nat Fleischer, who edited The Ring magazine from 1922 through 1972, rated Johnson as the greatest heavyweight ever.
