It is often the case with dynamic brawlers who rely on physical strength, constant aggression and a seemingly inhuman ability to absorb punishment that, like an engine habitually pushed beyond the red line, their bodies abruptly give out. A slugger who just short years previous possessed the vigour and clout to defeat great champions like Sugar Ray Robinson. Suddenly slows, weakens, and becomes vulnerable. So it was for Gene Fullmer. The only real s...
