    We are two boxers thirty years apart whose names evoked fear to our
    opponents.We were never champions ,but top notchers.Each of us
    fought 2 absolute alltime greats,both who feared our names...Who were we ?

    Dougie, you have a retentive memory. Yes Percy Kid Graves is one.
    And who might be the other fear evoking name ?

    No dougie, not Wilf Greaves from Canada, who I saw fight.
    My other guy fought later on...He dropped an alltime great fighter and was once rated No.2 as a contender...
