THE RUSHED CAREER & SHORT LIFE OF BOXER YOUNG STRIBLING

[@ET-RAMBLINGS]

For the whole story of Stribling pick up Jaclyn W. White's book "The Greatest Champion That Never Was".

Yet another fantastic story about a multi-talented boxer who accomplished great things (during a short lifetime).

One of my favorite and least talked about fighters. Thank you

I am WL Striblings great grandson. Thank you for this amazing clip .

As usual, a wonderful and informative presentation. I have read that former world heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey was interested in managing Young Stribling's boxing career.

No shame to lose against Max Schmeling! Stribling was a great fighter!

Good video

[@baller15g]

Imagine fighting a man that weighs over 100 pounds more than you

Clearly he was an American icon in his day, based on the amount of footage available for his era. His wholesomeness as a family man in Georgia plus his two controversial "losses" to Mike McTigue solidified him as the up-and-comer of his age. Set the knockout record at the time. What is not discussed in this video is that he traveled around the United States with his family and would fight pretty much anyone. He was like a circus act who would knock out any random person anywhere. That's how he got over 100 knockouts by age 24.

Such a tragic loss for his young family!

[@hazenstribling2646]

Check out Jaclyn White's book "The Greatest Champion That Never Was".

Seems to have some similarities to Gene Tunney ?

[@ET-RAMBLINGS]

That was noted at the time.
