  • Note the uppercut from the outside @ 1:06. Jack Johnson would have been proud. The rest of the time he ate right cross for trying that. Stribling just not big enough to hang at the top with heavyweights

  • A fellow by the name of Cavanaugh recently wrote a terrific biography of Tunney. With biographies of guys like Tiger Flowers (also a Georgian, I believe) and Bummy Davis, I would think someone must be looking at Stribling. There seems to be a great interest in boxing history.

  • If he had moved up to heavyweight more successfully, like Tunney, Charles, or Conn, there might be more interest. Still, it would be nice if someone could try to convince a good writer like Harry Crews, a macho guy born in Georgia, to tackle the project. If he were still alive, I'll bet Lewis Grizzard would do a great job with it.

  • It is sad that he has been forgotten. I number of years ago a biography of him was published. It is called, "King of the Canebrakes". With so many boxing books being published now I would think someone would do a more extensive one on Stribling.

  • Yes, though this film is clearly speeded up--1931 was well withing the era of motorized movie cameras.

  • Remember that Max was a sport in and out of the ring; we have yet to learn about Michael's character in retirement.

  • Yes, and it is sad that he died tragically in a motorcycle crash at age 28. At almost as sad that he has been practically forgotten, even in his native state of Georgia.

  • plus he won 128 by ko, what a record

  • stribling had 290 fights winning 256 losing 16 and drawing 15 with 3 no contests and was only ever stopped once and that was in this fight vs schmeling

  • Be careful saying that, what about the greatest racing driver of all time, Michael Schumacher.
