    Jack Sharkey was the only man to have faced both Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis. When asked to pick a winner between the two he declined to say, but added that if the fight was in a phone booth Dempsey would have won.

    If the great Featherweight champion Sandy Saddler and Rocky Marciano
    where to fight, Saddler would have a 2 inch reach advantage, 70 inches
    to Marciano's 68.

    Floyd Patterson was knocked down more than any other modern Heavyweight champion, 20 times

    When he was asked by Gil Clancy on air who would win the up-comming fight between Maurice Blocker and Glenwood Brown, Buddy McGirt replied "the black guy"

    Ali upstaged? Ali was on a plane when a stewardess asked him to fasten
    his seat belt, Ali told the lady "Superman dont need no seat belt". The
    stewardess told the champ "Superman dont need no plane!"

    The first mouthpiece was used in 1915 in a bout between Ted "Kid" Lewis
    and Jack Britton.

    Jim Watt fromer WBC lightweight champions when asked about his "white
    complexion" by a reporter said, "I'm like a bottle of milk with gloves".

    Joe DeGuardia knocked out Lou Del Valle cold with one punch.

    Fight Night Round 3's original cover was supposed to have had Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward together on the cover, but not fighting(as it is now). They brought them into chicago, and on the day of the photoshoot, they showed up completely wasted from drinking all night. The photos came out terrible, so EA sports decided to run a photo that was hanging on one of the developer's walls.

    yea i remember hearing about that when we were in AC w/ Wayne Johnsen's trainer.

    he also said that Ward was pissed when he saw himself get KOed in the promo since he's actually never been counted out before. :lol:

    The deceased guy whom Mike Tyson dedicated the Lou Savarese fight to ("I dedicate this fight to my brother Darryl Baum"), is the guy who shot 50 Cent.

    50 Cent later purchased Mike Tyson's old home.
