"There's nothing more useless to the world than a washed-up prize-fighter.": A superb piece reflecting on the relationship between boxing and culture.

Great read, Fat Buddha, thank you for posting this. A couple thoughts: How many pounds in a stone? I'm too lazy to google. One good boxing movie not mentioned was "The Boxer" with Daniel Day-Lewis. It's a phenomenal film that you can watch with your date. Part macho boxing, part love story, part Sinn Fein/IRA story. Not to be missed. The way I heard the Randall "Tex" Cobb story, when asked if he wanted a rematch against Larry Holmes, he said "I don't think so. Holmes' fists couldn't take the punishment".

1 stone = 14 pounds.
