    I was a much feared heavyweight contender,who was born so poor,
    my parents only could afford to give me two first names. Who am I ?

    you know while studying that era, it amazed me just how many men there were that could have held the title such was the competition, the level of Contenders and of course the FEARED ones among them.

    you are a lucky man indeed Burt to have witnessed those days of greatness. :deal

    Burt, it was either he or Harry Thomas, and I don't think Harry was feared by too many. LOL
