I'm pretty sure someone has posted it here before. I managed to get my old photo's folder back from my old pc and found it there, along with the names of the fighters!
It was taken on September 26, 1952 http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Randy_Sandy http://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Human:12704
I bet it was as well! How did you even get that I think I have a picture of him looking at Jersey Joe!
Yes Willie Troy and Randy Sandy,who Joey Giardello fought and beat both men...Along with Rory Calhoun, they were very good middleweights at that competitive time...These guys were on TV in the 1950s...They fought often,and against the best opposition in those halycon days, unlike today.
willie troy fought a young Floyd patterson about the same time as he fought giardello. At that stage of pattersons development against the same opponent I think giardello was more impresive against Troy than patterson was. I would be interested if after viewing both Troy v patterson and giardello v Troy anybody would pick patterson to beat giardello that year? I have no qualms about patterson beating giardello later on but at the time he fought troy I think giardello would have been a bad fight for floyd.
