Who is Tommy Morrison's father and what was his relationship to John Wayne?
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.

Did Rocky Marciano once box his brother?
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!
Is Henry Cooper Tommy Coopers brother?
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.

Is 30 year old unopened amaretto valuable?
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.

* Born: 1976 * Birthplace: The Movies * Best Known As: Star of the Rocky film series Rocky Balboa is the fictional boxer created by Sylvester Stallone in the 1976 film Rocky. The film tells the story of a down-and-out Philadelphia boxer who gets a long-shot title fight with heavyweight champion Apollo Creed. Rocky was a tremendous hit, winning the Academy Award as best picture and making Stallone a major Hollywood force. (The actor had been nearly unknown before writing the script and convincing producers to let him play the lead.) Rocky appeared in four numbered sequels, battling a series of pugilistic villains while winning and losing championships and fortunes: Rocky II (1978, featuring a rematch with Creed), Rocky III (1982, with Mr. T as opponent Clubber Lang), Rocky IV (1985, with Dolph Lundgren as Russian nemesis Ivan Drago), and Rocky V (1990, with Stallone's real-life son Sage as Rocky Balboa, Jr.). In 2006 Stallone brought the character back for a fifth sequel, Rocky Balboa, in which a much older Rocky comes out of retirement to fight an exhibition against a champion named Mason Dixon (played by real-life boxer Antonio Tarver). Rocky's nickname is "the Italian Stallion"... The original Rocky also won Oscars for best director (John Avildsen) and best editing (Richard Halsey and Scott Conrad). The theme song "Gonna Fly Now" was nominated for an Oscar and remains an iconic Hollywood tune... Stallone directed sequels II, III, IV, and Rocky Balboa. Avildsen returned to direct Rocky V... Avildsen also directed another underdog sports flick, The Karate Kid (1984)... The films defeated by Rocky in the best picture competition were Taxi Driver, All the President's Men, Bound for Glory and Network... Tommy Morrison, the nephew of John Wayne, appeared in Rocky V as Rocky's ungrateful protegé Tommy "Machine" Gunn... Stallone has often said he was inspired to write the first film after seeing Chuck Wepner fight Muhammad Ali in 1975. Wepner sued Stallone in 2003, saying he had not received payments promised by Stallone; the two settled the suit out of court in 2006.

Which boxer got caught using metal plate in his gloves the other boxer then committed suicide?
I have not heard of metal plates in gloves! but in June 1983, Luis Resto beat Michael Collins so badly that Collins told his father/trainer that he felt like he was getting hit with rocks, when the fight ended, (Collins was beaten to a pulp, I have never seen a face like it before or after and don't want to ever see that again) his father (suspicious) went over to congratulate Resto by shaking his gloved hands, on doing so, he noticed less padding in them, he alerted the ref and it was found out that 2 inch of padding had been removed, the trainer and the boxer were both banned. Resto served a prison sentence for this and his trainer was banned from training. His trainer got his way around this by training in a different country. Most recently Resto revealed that the hand tape was also soaked in plaster of Paris. Collins suffered blurred vision after the fight and could not fight again, he eventually drove his car over a cliff, killing him.
How long does it usually take to earn golden gloves in boxing?
-Well- I presume you have some misunderstanding. I myself am from the New England Region and -here- "Lowell, Mass" is THE HUB for amateur boxing. The New England Championships are held there at Memorial Auditorium each year. My friend Harold Souther (Newburyport, Mass) was a NEGG champion, in his day. I myself had shot at that title in 83-85-86 (finished 2nd twice and "top third", once -156lbs-). The GOLDEN GLOVES is an Organization and they stage TOURNAMENTS. If you win the "Title" you are the champ in the district. It goes as high as the "Nationals" level. When I was boxing, actually, the AAU (later the USA/ABF) was the STONGER of the two governing bodies. There possibly could be places where "golden gloves" are "awarded" buy, it is a "Cult" sort of thing, if it exists, at all. In NE championships there is a COSTELLO Cup awarded to the voted upon "best boxer" of tournament. Sometimes, Tournaments will refere to the same thing as "Golden Boy" award. I hope this helps you. Reach me directly if more insight will be needed. JOHN WILKINSON NEW BRITAIN, CT ("World Hqts of Stanley Tools") boxer (retired) 51 bouts in RECORD and Founder of Central Ct. State Univ boxing (1980-93)
