Famous Boxers' Wives

A good shot of Sonny's fist, held by his wife Geraldine.

Geraldine believed Sonny indeed may have taken a dive against Ali--because Sonny had diarrhea at the time.

I always figured something like that was probably the reason Duran quit against Leonard. The man had polished off two steak dinners after he made weight. Now he had too...well, you know.

I still believe that there are some fighters who are determined to keep going and wouldn't let something as minor as an uncomfortable stomach or a pending bowel movement defeat them in the fight.

Even if things got so bad that they had to pass the bowel movement right there in the ring, they would carry on with the mindset that it isn't going to bring them down.

Fighters like this don't let anything get in between them and their goals, and this shows the azimuth of commitment and dedication required to succeed at the ultimate level.

It is often those who push past the uncomfortable and stay focused no matter what life throws their way that often go on to achieve the greatest victories in life, in love, and in academic and career pursuits.

Statistics are with me, since I never heard of it happening yet. Maybe it did, but I probably would have heard about it. Diarrhea is not like being out of air or getting punched good. When it is time, YOU MUST GO. If so many guys were fighting it off, we would have seen at least one paint with offal on canvas. That could be why sometimes in big fights a fighter is late making his ring walk.

Not Andrew 'Six Heads' Lewis. He ran out of the ring in the middle of the fight!

From 2005 to 2007 Lewis battled Denny Dalton in a series of 3 fights for the Guyanese Light Middleweight Title. These fights are most notable due to the controversial and bizarre nature of the ending of the second fight. Ahead on points in the 7th Round Lewis retired from the fight due to an extreme need to defecate blamed on consumption of a pre-fight milkshake

Cursed with the lactose-intolerant genes of my ancestors, I can commiserate with this gentleman boxer who had to make a headlong flight toward the restrooms after ingesting a questionable milkshake.

I grew up knowing that the creamy depths of a milkshake was forbidden territory to me; something that could wreak havoc on my stomach with a few innocuous quaffs.

I was intrigued by Andrew Lewis’ nickname of “Six Heads”; but much to my disappointment, after a quick online image search, I confirmed that he did not, in fact, have six heads.

I don't understand that rule. If they gotta go, let them go and then come back. Dumb rule, change it. If someone really things they're gonna pull some shenanigans, check their equipment. And if they're worried about cooling down and then warming up again, too bad. What's the alternative? Losing by TKO or crapping yourself in the ring? Really dude?

Yes. I don’t know if it’s ever happened in boxing, but it’s happened at least one or two times in high-profile endurance running.

garry liniker poohed on the grass in a huge big game. as a young distance runner i often stopped to wee if i was so far ahead of the rest. i went very quickly, i was a world class distance runner for my age. but with severe asthma in the summer i could never do the summer championships, in winter i was in another league. that is why sports stars like boxers have warm up fights not just to see his skills but also to get his body ready for 10pm Saturday night. all things the athlete does is done to peak at that time. all is aimed at that time the time of breakfast and lunch and all the rituals need to be practised to be **** hot during the hours event, if the game is delayed or moved it can screw up the athletes system. it is the same for actors and dancers in shows their whole day is geared around the nights show. even rock bands known for drug taking are never as bad as they portray as it needs athleticism to perform, travel miles and do it again. been a performer you need to be fit.

I forget the back story to the nickname, they explained it once on HBO
