    Baroudi dies of injuries sustained in this fight. Baroudi had given a good account of himself for the first five rounds.

      Great info... How come we so often hear about Max Baer and his misfortune with killing one fighter and possibly being a contributing factor to the death of another one, but seldom hear of Charles quandary? In both cases it is said it altered the remaining career for both men.

        Jimmy Doyle passing away after being knocked out by Ray Robinson is another you hear little about. Who is Charles Quandry?

          Sorry wrote that in a confusing manner and misspelled "Quandary:" Ezzard Charles had a quandary, because he was uncertain what to do after causing his opponent to die. I did not even know Robinson did this!!

          Note: changed the spelling of "Quandary" to the correct spelling.

            Before the fight Ray dreamed he killed Doyle and wanted the fight called off,but was persuaded to go ahead with it.

                  Shavers doesn't belong anywhere near a top 20.

                  Patterson, Tunney, Fury, and maybe Norton does.

                    I thought any longtime boxing fan would have heard about Doyle. Robinson had a dream beforehand that he killed him.

                      Not sure I believe the SRR-Doyle story.

                      They say, they brought in a minister or priest to tell him it was OK to go ahead.

                      I also read that he used his next few purses to set-up Doyle's mother so she would not need.

                      I still just don't trust SRR. He had a flair for the dramatic.

                      What he did for Doyle's mom goes without question but he may have done that very good thing without the pre-cognitive dream.
