wondering how much this occurred , did the boxers tour around , seems like a good fit for the recently retired champs to make some bucks back when it wasnt the money there is now in the 50's & 60's, any of the 70's guys do it , Ali, Foreman, Norton a few notable below from my area 51/11/29 Toronto :Whipper Watson W The Zebra Kid - Special referee :Jack Dempsey 52/06/03 Oshawa, ON Oshawa Arena :Bobo Brazil W Hans Hermann – Special Referee: Jack Dempsey 54/06/08 Oshawa, ON Kinsmen Stadium :Pat Flanagan/Tex McKenzie W/DQ Al Mills/The Mighty Ursus – Special Referee: Joe Louis 56/03/15 Toronto :Whipper Watson W Lou Thesz to capture the NWA World Heavyweight Title -Special referee: Jack Dempsey 62/02/15 Toronto : NWA Title Buddy Rogers WDQ Bulldog Brower -Special Referee: Jersey Joe Walcott 62/03/01 Toronto : NWA Title Buddy Rogers WDQ Bulldog Brower -Special Referee: Jersey Joe Walcott 62/12/06 Toronto : International Tag Titles Whipper Billy Watson/Bruno Sammartino WDQ Johnny Valentine/Bulldog Brower -Special Referee: Jersey Joe Walcott 72/03/05 Toronto : The Sheik WDQ Carlos Rocha - Special Referee :Jack Sharkey Last edited on Sun Oct 20th, 2013 08:36 pm by carlton st ____________________ |

Joe Louis did it a TON in the Carolinas. Even did a few shots working with one glove on vs the heel of note. Dempsey drew good crowds here earlier also. Dempsey, Walcott, Archie Moore, all did it but Louis seemed to be the most frequent in the Carolinas. In the early 80s Earnie Shavers did some guest ref tours for JCP
