    Alan also beat Reggie Ford in the 1972 Olympics.
    Reggie Ford beat Marvin Hagler in 1971.

    Minter wasn't a bad fighter, Johnson was a tough one. Too bad his views on race were something he couldn't keep to himself. Thank goodness Hagler thrashed him.

    John was pretty well off the scene at the time Marvin won the title from Alan Minter.
