What do we think of Bassey then? Aggressive but obviously well-schooled, he was a tough Nigerian who fought primarily in Britain before claiming the World Featherweight title. Sadly no footag exists of his bout with Davey Moore. Greg did a similar thread before but this is now on youtube and not just the British Pathe website.

Looks to be a teak tough African in the mould of Azumah Nelson, but his two fisted barrage at the end of the Hamia fight reminds me of Dick Tiger, the way he swings his shots together.
Can you believe a well past his prime 37 year old Willie Pep was beating this guy for 9 rounds? Pep was special
