I like Lee Roy Murphy .  Came from poverty ,  boxed became a cruiser weight champ ,  got out when he knew it was time ,  became a sheriff in Chicago and was a loving family man and socially concerned for the poor .  I'd say he is the everyday regular guy's success story .

For those who saw him as an amateur, it was clear he peaked early. Between the Olympics being boycotted, the cruiserweight division being the minor leagues back then, and the lack of respect he got, he just checked out mentally. But he was a massive talent.

Your music selection is the best. You have excellent taste in music. Did you choose the music or someone else.  Do you have a playlist of the music in your videos? I have been watching your videos for years but never really noticed the music until recently. Would very much appreciate more information on your musical choices. Thanks again

"i'll figure it out in the ring" - Lee Roy Murphy.

I remember seeing his name in ring magazine I thought he was from Ireland 🇮🇪.  Cause cruiserweight got no air time on ABC or espn in early early 80s. Glad u did this so I can learn little about him

Mr. Murphy gave a lot to boxing. It seems like boxing didn't reciprocate.  Smart for him to have a backup plan for the rest of his life. Good for him!

“When the going gets tough, the Tough get going!”  Murphy, an unknown,  … what a tough customer!  Too bad he didn’t have the connections and a promoter behind him.  Thank you Rich for gathering this footage and bringing some of his days of glory to our appreciative eyes.  Yet, in the same breath, it’s sad to see,  Thank You, Rich !! 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭. Hope you are ok Murphy!!!  Thank you for your courage entering that ring!God Bless You!😂

Fighters deserve a ring pension!!! Here’s positive proof!

Incredible FIGHTER . WORTHY CHAMPION

You're a national boxing treasure Rich. For our sake, please don't stop being you.

He really dug DEEP in that Mutti fight. Rocky 2! Crazy.
Seems like a peaceful decent guy.
Great video, Rich; you've done it again! Thank you.
✝🥊🙏

Wow! Alvino Manson! Just saw him at Church Sunday morning! I'll have to let him know he was mentioned!

This guy was a warrior if more people would of saw that rocky ended he might of got bigger pay days

Excellent documentary Rich . I didn't know of Murphy, here in England, so appreciate this upload. Good work. Bless up bro 👊

Lee Roy deserved a lot more credit; I watched several of his fights. Another nice documentary Rich, you do it the best!

That was some rocky shit 14:05

The Murphy/Gaymon slugfest was unbelievable. Words can fall short illustrating that battle.

Had I known Chicago had a world champ there i would have reach out for him to train me and my younger brother

Laziness is equivalent to exhaustion if you don't figure it out.

Another Good Piece
Rich

Glad he's enjoying life

I grew up with him and remembering he had the biggest hands as kids. He was a fighter I thought but that Olympic thing messed him up. He did have a tendency to put on weight but all in all he had a nice career. I really thought he really didn't know how good he was. Great Doc on my boy Murph

Knew the  name but knew nothing of him, thanks again
