Rocky,I had lunch with Morris Reif about 3 years ago in Florida. Still going strong, Had a great left-hook.

 

Rocky,this picture above of my favorite,
[and the fans too] of young Beau Jack fight, in the FIRST main event bout
against Tough Terry Young, a stablemate of Rocky Graziano,that my dad took
me to at St. Nicholas Arena in the early 1940s....Ah, memories Rocky :good
P.S. Beau Jack as a youngster started out in battle royals in Savanah, Georgia

 

Believe me Rocky. This young Beau Jack would have whipped Floyd Mayweather ,both in their primes. No question in my opinion..

 

The Guileful Archie Moore can't keep the endlessly punching Rocky Marciano at bay

How would Ewart have done had he somehow got a shot at Marciano?? 5'10 1/4" versus 7'2" !!!
I for one would've loved to have seen it!!
