Masters of the craft, the ones we call great.


Among the few we call the greatest was Vinny Paz, known for his incredible comeback after a near-fatal car accident. To call this man a worrier would be insulting to even the most or Barbaric of savages. On November 12, 1991, while Vinny Pazienza was a passenger in a car he was involved in a head-on collision in Warwick, Rhode Island, at speed of around 40 miles per hour. He tragically suffered a dislocated vertebra and two fractured vertebrae in his neck.
His story of triumph over adversity rang out, like a lion’s roar pierces through the dead silence of the night! Echoing through not only the halls of boxing communities, his tale of resilience, toughness, and undying spirit; how The great Vinny Pazienza would not only survive the accident and all it’s damage he would fight his way through the gates of hell and back into the great place of virtue we call the boxing ring! And by zuzes might he would go on to win again. Anyone who possessed the ability to hear or see would become inspired by The man known as Vinny Paz and his take of suffering and resilience; instilling within them the knowledge that if you have what it takes to take on the fire walking away without even a single burn; then anything is possible
“IRON” Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson, once the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, embodied a rare and awe-inspiring strength that seemed almost otherworldly. He carried with him the power and ferocity of the gods, a mortal man blessed with the ability to strike fear into the hearts of his opponents with just the sound of his 8-ounce leather gloves being laced up. In the realm of boxing, if there was anyone who could be deemed worthy to challenge the likes of Zeus or Hercules, it was Mike Tyson.
Born and raised in tumultuous circumstances, Tyson found solace and purpose within the confines of the boxing ring. Guided by his legendary coach and father figure, Cus D'Amato, who had previously trained boxing icon Rocky Marciano, Tyson honed his skills and developed into a formidable force.

However, Tyson's reign as the undisputed champion was not without its challenges and setbacks. In a stunning turn of events, Tyson's overconfidence led him to take a fight against Steve "Buster" Douglas just two weeks out, a decision that would ultimately lead to his downfall. Douglas, fueled by determination and a belief in his own abilities, managed to do what many thought was impossible - he knocked down the seemingly invincible Mike Tyson.

He exuded a sense of raw power and aggression, driven by a deep-seated desire to prove himself as the baddest man on the planet. Each time Tyson stepped into the ring, he brought with him an aura of intensity and determination that captivated audiences worldwide.
