    Almost everything is correct, because not everyone is as way into boxing as Billy Joel. He mentions multiple boxers in the song.

    I mean I’m not shocked, he was a boxer himself before he became a professional musician, but it’s still funny he apparently thought everyone else was as into boxing as he was and so those names would resonate as much as Liberace’s or Satayana’s.

      That’s something I never noticed. And a little Billy Joel trivia I didn’t know. Really could not see the man knocking someone out.
