As a good but not by any means great boxer who was better than his record shows. Non boxing fans won't know who he was.
Similar to how Jorge Paez is/was remembered. Beloved entertainer to those who saw him fight, forgotten and under appreciated by those who didn't.
Spot On. He made Thaxton look like a complete novice. With better promoting, he could've been a BIG hit. Unfortunately, he wasn't protected, like a Frank Warren protege, and had too many hard fights. The mainstream boxing fan would struggle to remember him, I'm afraid.
