    Ayub Kalule, had he had his career in the states, everybody would know him in this thread. Gave prime Leonard a tough battle...

    I loved Dick Tiger. That guy was truly phenomonal.

    Unfortunately, many only remember him for his drubbing at the hands of Bob Foster. That was an older version of Tiger fighting above his real weight of Junior Middleweight, where he beat the likes of Gene Fulmer and Emile Griffith, among others.
