i decided to write a story,(i've started to write hundreds of stories, but they never get anywhere, and i never take the time to write them well.), and i'm going to spend time on it, which means i need research. i need information about world famous fighters. i'm talking about fighters who had that natural talent, and made a world record, created a really effective fighting art still used today, or were simply prodigies of brawling. example: that boxer, can't remember his name, who had a record of 40 something victories, all of which were knockouts, but died in a plane crash still holding the heavyweight belt. i need info about people like that. any info would be nice.

(world famous assassins, and other related things count too.)

Hope this gives you a start.

oh, and that boxer who was undefeated until a plane crash, he won cause he would punch his opponents in the arms until they're arms were too tired to punch back.

Here's a link that has a whole heap of masters etc detailed on it. Again I'm not sure if it will provide you with exactly what you're after, but there is a lot of background info on a whole range of masters in varying styles. Please note that not all of the links appear to be working.
