    I have seen Harold Green fight many times..Met him many times...Green was reallky a jr. middleweight, and he woiuld give rhe top 152 pounders a run for their money today...I saw his wars with Graziano at MSG, great fights they were...I met Harold Green in 1947 the day AFTER he was kod by Marcel Cerdan in two rounds..He told a few of us that in a clinch in the first round, "I knew Cerdan was too strong for me ".And he was right..Green was a great crowd favorite,and he loved to mix it...
