Boxing is different. We all know that. We're allowed access into the lives of fighters in a way other sports don't provide with their athletes, and as a result we often feel as though we know them and are close to them. When we lose fighters, and especially fighters we cared for, it sure hurts.

On this episode of the Knuckes and Gloves podcast, boxing historians Patrick Connor and Aris Pina team up to remember former heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist "Big" George Foreman, and give a brief tribute to Ras-I Alujah Bramble, better known as Livingstone Bramble.

May they both rest well forever.

It's Halloween month, and while some don't celebrate, many embrace the fun and zany culture that usually comes along with the holiday.

Some fighters also partake by wearing costumes to the ring or performing fun ring walks. And on this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, boxing historian Patrick Connor and Compubox operator/fellow historian Aris Pina remember several such fighters.

The International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York has been around since 1990, and there aren't too many history podcasts out there where the hosts have nearly 30 years of IBHOF voting between them.

On this episode of the Knuckles and Gloves podcast, two IBHOF voters discuss a number of fighters on the modern ballot.

Which fighters are deserving of the vote? Which are deserving of being on the ballot? Which aren't? Who SHOULD be on the ballot that isn't? We tackle these questions and more!
