    Petrolle by horribly one-sided beatdown. You are a sadist, sir! :lol:

    Green made his rep picking off the corpse of Stracey. Otherwise, he was mid-level. Petrolle rolled with some of the best and did well. I'll take Billy on accomplishment.

    Billy Petrolle against Green ? Would you match Davey Boy Green against Carmen Basillio ?
    Well Billy Petrolle was every bit as good as Basillio...

    :D

    My son came home and sat down earlier while I was watching a bit of Ross vs petrolle and reckoned billy was terrible and went on about "apart from a few top fighters from before 1950 fringe contenders from more modern times are naturally more physically stronger and these older guys look weak ":-(.

    So hence petrolle vs green
