    Very interesting watch, and some very interesting thinhs said here. Like how Kid Gavalin was backed by the Mob. Robinson and Carmen never backing down to Carbo, and Carmen's manager Johnny De John having some sort of connection with the mob.

    That was very interesting. The more I learn about Carmen the more respect I have for him. Things like this make me like him more and more, he's definitely one of my top 5 favorite fighters of all time.

    Carmen Basilio is a hero to all that loved boxing; a great fighter and a tremendous human being the likes of whom you don't see these days.
