Saensak Muangsurin, John Stracey, Eckhard Dagge & David Kotey. Thought I'd take a break from another Marciano, Duran, Tyson thread and throw...
I read his book "Weigh-In the Selling of a Middleweight" and enjoyed it tremendously. He tells of his fighting days in the 1960's and fights with...
I respect him as a good champion and a tough, strong fighter. As far as I can tell though, he was human and felt pain and fatigue like everyone...

I've often wondered if the Cuevas camp didn't use this fight as a gameplan for Pipino's fight with Hearns. I read in a Sports Illustated article...
