Does anyone know of a website where I could find a list of the World Champions (or any other notable fighters) who trained at Detroit's Kronk gymnasium? I looked it up on wikipedia but surpisingly there;s no page about it.

Thanks.

Tony Tucker was another fighter who trained at The Kronk Gym under the guidance of the late Luther Burgess. Burgess also trained Riddick Bowe at one time.

I thought of another one today, and I'm sure I'll come up with a few more over time. Bernard "Superbad" Mays a fighter of great potential who wasted his talent on his battle with the bottle and passed away at age 33 after a less than stellar career.
