    Greatest Crawford LtHeavy (50's-60's)
    Fought out of New York area

    Found this fighter on BoxRec by accident.

    Interesting he would have been fighting at
    the same weightclass sometime before
    an Olympic Lightheavy came on the national scene
    in 1960.

    I saw Greatest fight in the old Garden he weighed 179½ he fought Jimmy McCarter 225, it was on the Bob Foster vs Ernie Terrell card. The thing I remember is that, McCarter, hit Greatest in the body, Greatest was hurt he grabbed and held, in the clinch, while leaning on McCarter's shoulder threw up all over McCarter's back.

    Did the ref stop the fight to "adjust McCarter's back" ?
