He has a lot of supporters here too.
Had Wills defeated Uzcudun and Sharkey, Tunney likely would have had to defend his title against Wills, but Harry was basically shot by the time...
Basilio-DeMarco 1 and 2 were pretty good as well!
I'd go with Conn at the light-heavyweight limit. He was comfortable at that weight and his frame was built for it and, though still quite young,...
