    I was a boxer, and son of a ring alltime great...But the adage "like father, like son is not true in my case". Who was I, and my father ?

    Harold Johnson was better than his father, Phil, although neither of them got past the third round against Jersey Joe Walcott.

    None of the above, I had about 95 bouts, my great dad had much, much more, and is considered one of the very best, unlike me...

    Bobby Britton? The son of Jack Britton. He did inherit his father's ability to last the distance as he was only stopped twice in around a hundred fights, of which he lost more than half.

    Frazier may not have been as great as his dad, but he did beat some good opponents and only lost to the best...
