He died a pretty sour old guy. You should have seen his face when I asked him about Toney - Jones. Told me a funny story about picking Joe...
Somebody here is about to make a title about him being the greatest bantamweight of all times.
Martinez is 5-3-2 in title fights, Gamboa is 8-1.
I agree. I think he was the best light-heavyweight I ever saw. Foster himself told me that Spinks sucked and he would have done him in a few...

Yes, yoiu can't watch that fight if you call yourself a boxing fan, and not see the ring generalship, timing and the way he sets punches up. Guys...
Well now... you do seem to be responding to it quite a bit. Maybe you do?
