Rosco Dunn was an echo chamber in which I kept hearing things. It was the perfect name for a boxer, not a champion mind you, but a contender. Finally I called Lenny Craven on the sports desk at the Times and he knew all about it. Knoetze had played Rosco Dunn in Bomber opposite Bud Spencer. Skop, skiet en donder, Lenny said, ham in all three disciplines. Rosco was a military man and the villain of the piece. I assumed the name was a screenwriter’s invention, but when Lenny’s fax came through I had to wonder if Knoetze hadn’t made it up himself: Richard Dunn, Duane Bobick, Denton Ruddock. He’d beaten them all in successive fights. Roll the names together in your mouth and you might get Rosco Dunn.
