Please correct the spelling of his last name. It's Seales, not Seals.

I remember reading on Seales' deteriorating vision and when the trainer knew something was wrong when Seales, in the gym ring sparring, stopped his workout and said to the trainer, "can't they turn the lights on in here?" The lights, of course, were all the way on. I'm glad to hear he has regained some of his vision.

Regarding David Love, I was always following him but never thought he was more than a journeyman until he reached his absolute prime where he took out Willie Monroe and Bobby Watts. I couldn't believe it at the time. I saw one of them - i think it was the Watts fight - and he also held a win over a very hot prospect in 'Bad News' Wallace.

Beat Willie the Worm and Boogaloo Watts in back-to-back fights. Came to the Spectrum and topped Bad Bennie Briscoe, too.

David Love had to pay property taxes in Pennsylvania because he OWNED Philadelphia!

Tacoma Legend!

I believe he had two brothers who were boxers also. Ray was a brilliant amateur but just wasn't quite stout and durable enough in the pro ranks, though he was exceptionally skilled.
