    This would be hard to watch... imagine the kind of beating the brave Basilio would take, before they would have to stop it!

    Oh my Lord. Basillio was a true welterweight who would have been crushed by the much bigger and stronger GGG...

    Basilio beat Ray Robinson, why can't he beat GGG?

    Basillio beat a 37 year old Ray Robinson who was way past his peak when he fought Carmine...Tough as Basillio was the WW prime SRR
    batters Carmine badly...

    Basilio gets carried out on his shield in this ritual sacrifice.

    Gene Fullmer respected Basilio ("We both hate Robinson") but beat Basilio twice, and said he was just too big and strong for Basilio. Same type of fight if GGG fights Basilio.
