Boxing

Frank Bruno was the most popular boxer since Henry Cooper, during the 80's his corny catchphrases and genuine nature adhered him to the British Public and he became Britains most popular sportsman and was loved by all. Frank and his then wife Laura were as well known as the Beckhams are now and were always in the National press, magazines and on television programmes. Some boxing purists writtened him off but Frank may not have been the most naturally talented boxer but he was always in fantastic condition, had a booming jab and was an all round heavy hitter and was highly dedictated. Whilst often remembered for the fights he lost many people tend to forget he was the first person to visibly hurt the then unbeaten Mike Tyson and was beating and outjabbing Lennox Lewis ( depsite many writers saying Lennox was the fastest jabber since ALI ) until walking on to a left hook . Frank won the Heavyweight title of the world at Wembley Stadium when he outpointed Oliver McCall over 12 rounds on an emotional evening.

Frank along with Lenny Henry,and John Barnes became extremley popular black entertainers/sportsmen and helped to bring down racial barriers. The colour of skin was irrelevant and they became popular because of their personalities and dedication. Until then most popular british Sportsmen and entertainers were white.

Frank had been wrongly accussed by a few people of ' selling out' which he denied and even served a writ at one point on Lennox Lewis . Frank is extremley proud of his Jamican heritage and extremley proud to be British. He often wore t-shirts, saying Bruno True Brit.

Only Ricky hatton has come close to the popularity Frank held in the years since he retired.

I would include Bruce Strauss here as well

192? Everlast lists Jack Tracy with 52 KO from 1916-1924. Although some of his bouts check out, his record is still questionable, due to the format of his record in that book.

Adrianna 'Adrian' Pennino - Played by Talia Shire

No.

My mates dad said they were related so it must be correct!

Blue.

Tommy Morrison (professional boxer) is the nephew of John Wayne. Tommy is the son of John Wayne's younger (and only) brother Robert. Although younger, Robert died several years before his older brother. Tommy was diagnosed with AIDs a few years ago. I hope he is doing all right.

Unlikely. That would have made him John Wayne's son's first cousin. John Wayne's son said in an interview that he didn't know whether he and Tommy Morrison were really related in any way or not. I don't know about you, but I know all of my first cousins.

John Wayne's family has publicly stated that the late Tommy Morrison was not closely related to John Wayne...he was a distant relative if they were related at all.

Yes, he is Oscar's first cousin.

Many people claim to be family, unless they have the last names; De La Hoya, Salas, Rosales, or know the names of Elder Aunts and Uncles, they are not related.

Many people attempt to SCAM the family.

In answer to this question Rocky boxed against his brother Sonny Marciano on many occasions, but never in official fights, only in sparring and infamously on an exhibition tour, where his brother illegally took on the identity of another amateur fighters, for this Rocky served a one month suspension in all states except NY where he had most early fights.

Rocky Marciano's true amateur record was/is 9-4 (8KO's), never 8-0, 30-0 (according to Sullivan's badly written book), 8-4 .

The confusion over 9-4 vs 8-4 is extra fight not included in his record because fighter Ralph did not show so naturally Rocky won by DQ!

No, Tommy Cooper is not related. Henry has two brothers - older brother Bernard and a younger twin (by 20 minutes) George, who was also a professional boxer and fought under the name of 'Jim' Cooper. George Cooper sadly passed away recently, on 11 April 2010.

YOU HAVE A BURSA SACK IN YOUR ELBOW. IT COULD BE BURSITIS DUE TO IRRITATING THE BURSA SACK. MY HUSBAND GOT IT JUST FROM THE WAY HE WAS RESTING HIS ARM ON THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING. THE ELBOW INFLAMED AND WAS IRRITATED FOR A LONG TIME. SOMETHING TO ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT. FOR HIM, TIME, IBUPROFEN, AND A ELBOW BRACE HELPED AND IT HEALED AFTER QUITE A WHILE.

If you can find someone that collects alcohol related memorabilia perhaps.

Or if the bottle is in a decorative bottle, or was created as a celebration or commemorative collectable.

Typically however most normal alcohol is not widely collected (unlike wine). It will at the very least retain its retail value (if sealed, it will not spoil), and perhaps a bit more if you manage to find someone that collects interesting bottles.

But unless there is something specifically special about the bottle, its not likely worth more than retail value.
