This week, we tell one of the most incredible stories, in history. Not just sports. He grew up with 18 brothers & sisters, in a good family, but he took to the streets, being convicted of murder, before any thought of a sports career took place. His rise from teenaged murderer, to fighting Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight title is remarkable. But not as remarkable as the fact that he wasn't done getting arrested. Fights with his wives, resulting in gunplay, and falls from second story windows, and even another murder charge! It' shard to believe, but it's all real!
Be convicted of murder, before your 21st birthday, somehow rise to the top of your sport, then try your hardest to end up right back in prison with Ron Lyle!!
Check us out, every Tuesday!
We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!
