    Years ago …these two were at a IBHOF ceremony …and even though they were both senior citizens at the time…they got into a physical altercation and had to be separated…so who would win in a boxing ring in their primes at 147 ?

    Any back story as to what happened?
    Emile was a pretty laid back man. Something must have gotten him awful bent for this to have happened
