Famous Boxers' Wives

[Slugfester]

The wives of famous boxers must have died with many untold stories. I know Robinson slapped his wife around some, and Louis cheated on his.

Do famous boxers have higher divorce rates than the general public? Has any boxer's wife written a tell-all? What did the wives have to say through the decades about their husbands and boxing?

Dude, don't forget one of the most infamous interviews on the '80s.

De La Hoya had several wives, I think. He has at least 3-4 baby mamas. Mayweather has 2 baby mamas (one is dead). Bowe had a really messy divorce. Holyfield had several divorces.

Banal topic. Only the puerile care.

Boxers' wives and their views and stories, are indeed worth listening to.

Didn't Holyfield have about 7 baby mamas for about 9 kids?

Mr. and Mrs Fitzsimmons had a few words on the subject.



Fitz had four wives. One named Rose yelled, "Hit him in the slats, Bob," during the Corbett fight, which Fitz did right away, and you know the rest.

What would that have to do with famous boxers wives? And who really cares?

What would that have to do with famous boxers wives? And who really cares?

Those who care, answer, those who don't, find something else to answer, is how I figure it. Obviously, you care on some level or you would not take the time to object that I wrote a letter on the subject, is how I figure it. I get it, son, you are butt-hurt from a recent reaming. . I can be sympathetic on this, if not empathic. Now let's get back to boxing and a relevant subject like "boxers' wives."

You read boxing biographies, from your letters. I figure it would be a pretty piss-poor biographer who left out all mention of a famous boxer's wife/ves. What do you think? Do you agree with that? A Jack Johnson biography without all the wives? Nah, I don't think so. Be careful where you step. I bet you wouldn't read it yourself.

Now then, I figure boxers have entered the ring in all kinds of states over their wives. Let's just say, it would be statistically unusual otherwise. I feel sure wives have caused losses for their boxer/husbands at some time.

Now let me say what you would read, what you would in fact gobble up: a book consisting of letters and interviews of famous boxers' wives. Pretend you could even stay away, son. You would be there bright & early with your monkey bells and elves' hat on to get your copy. But so would the rest of us.

Tell me of the boxers' wives past and present, O Grasshopper.
