All I know is he'd come out there and give it the old college try ... one of my favorite boxers of the past.
Basilio is as tough as they come. I dont have him as a favorite over anybody at WW. If he gets past the early rounds he might break Hearns down. That's a big Maybe. At MW I favor him over Leonard who I dont rate a great at this weight class. The Duran that fought Hagler beats him but any other version could get out worked over 15.
All four of the kings would know they’d been in a fight against Basilio even if they got their hands raised.
