The "Statistics" say Dublin, but the article claims Galway. Is this disputed? 67.253.157.18 ( talk) 23:21, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure what the criteria is for noteworthy mentions in fiction so I won't add this, but given that there is mention of a picture and a fictionalized story, might one want to add the pulp story on wikisource "The Apparition in the Prize Ring" ( AKA The Spirit of Tom Molyneaux). It is a boxing/ghost story about a black boxer who/while being beaten badly is inspired to victory by his admiration for, and possibly the ghostly intervention, of Molyneaux. It is by Robert E. Howard and, despite his racist reputation, speaks glowingly of Molyneaux. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Apparition_in_the_Prize_Ring Anyone think it is worthy of a link or a mention? 75.191.151.75 ( talk) 13:31, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
In the Wikipedia entry for Tom Molineaux, the first fight with Tom Cribb is stated as taking place in Shenington Hollow in Oxfordshire, whereas the entry for Copthorne village claims "a number of significant boxing prize fights took place in Copthorne Common in the early 19th century. A significant one was the English championship in 1810, between Tom Cribb of Bristol (Cribb was born near Bristl but lived in London at that time, in a state of semi-retirement) and Tom Molineaux from Virginia, USA." Copthorne is the venue for the fight in Fraser's "Black Ajax". Perhaps someone can verify the correct location. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fircroftstar ( talk • contribs) 16:55, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
