    He was a good contender. Shame he wasn’t able to capitalize fully on his potential

    eye sight failure destroyed his career. In my opinion, after Marciano I would rate Clarence Henry at his peak as the best young heavyweight contender of the early 1950s.

    no one said he couldn’t troll! They said an ancient Joe Baksi who hadn’t cracked the rankings in years couldn’t hang with Louis in 51! Enjoy your supper lol

    Two things stood out on the Baker KO.

    Henry really went after him, following up the initial left hook.

    And Baker displayed almost no survival skills. No effort to duck or roll.
