    McVey, this isn't what you're looking for, but like Johannson he had the out-of-the-ring charisma and style that USA reporters of that era liked. He was good copy, and he was good for the sport. It was a kind of quiet charm that is lacking in most fighters today.

    He also had the most famous trainer in the world at that time.
