Try explaining to people who aren't boxing fans that this man would easily knock out them out before enjoying a cup of tea
The 1960s was a great era for boxing 😍
Can't schedule posts anymore, which means this account will probably go mostly dormant. Unsure if the scheduling issue is permanent or what, but oh well. Respectfully, not interested in thanks, well wishes or the opposite. May check on scheduling some other time ✌️
"Sugar" Ray Robinson loved skipping rope and considered it closer to dancing than training. Robinson enjoyed jumping rope so much that he incorporated it into his nightclub act, often doing it to popular music. pic.x.com/hitibrxl9w

Kid Chocolate, Cuba's first world champion, was a popular, stylish celebrity. "The Keed" drove through Cincinnati before fighting Johnny Farr in 1932. A local kid asked how many suits Chocolate had, and he replied, "A different suit for every day of the year."

Mike Tyson fought Mitch "Blood" Green in 1986, earning a decision. Two years later, Green confronted Tyson at Dapper Dan's boutique in Harlem, allegedly about Don King owing him money. Green followed Tyson outside for a fight in which Tyson broke his hand and closed Green's eye.
"El Terrible" Erik Morales scored a triumphant and entertaining 12 round unanimous decision over Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao in Las Vegas, Nevada #OnThisDay in 2005. Despite losing, Pacquiao helped make his first loss in five years very exciting.
Rafael Herrera won the bantamweight championship with an 8th round KO of Rubén Olivares in Ciudad de México, México #OnThisDay in 1972. Herrera used his jab to control most of the fight and then cut Olivares in the 6th. A right-left combination ended the fight in round 8.
Sammy Angott came out of retirement to hand 62-0 Willie Pep his first professional loss with a 10 round unanimous decision at Madison Square Garden in New York #OnThisDay in 1943. Pep had difficulty with Angott's style and rhythm, and a late rush couldn't keep his record intact.
"Dancing Destroyer" Herbie Hide won the WBO heavyweight title with a 7th round KO of Michael Bentt in London, England #OnThisDay in 1994. Hide dominated and stung Bentt more before a series of right hands sent Bentt sprawling, and he couldn't beat the count. (📸 Sean Dempsey)
Jackie Tonawanda, aka "The Female Ali," 1970s women's boxing pioneer. Tonawanda was one of the first women to be granted a professional boxing license by the New York State Athletic Commission.
Rubén Olivares, 1960 and 70s two-division champion and Mexican all-time great, in the 1981 film "La Pulquería."
"Manos de Piedra" Roberto Durán smacks at the speed bag in 1980.
"Smokin'" Joe Frazier rehearses with his band The Knockouts.
"The Hawk" Aaron Pryor, "Sugar" Ray Leonard and Marvelous Marvin Hagler get their Seagram's belts from The Ring, 1981.
Michael Spinks became the first unified light heavyweight champion since Bob Foster when he won a 15 round unanimous decision over Dwight Muhammad Qawi in Atlantic City, New Jersey #OnThisDay in 1983. Spinks was ruled down in round 8 off what looked to be a slip.
"Iron" Mike Tyson scored a controversial 7th round TKO of Donovan "Razor" Ruddock in Las Vegas, Nevada #OnThisDay in 1991. Despite both fighters swinging hard, the bout wasn't particularly close before Tyson broke through with a combination that hurt Ruddock and ended the fight.
