    I was easily one of the greatest pure boxers ever in my class...In over 100 bouts I was never floored, hurt or stopped...I had a heart problem that kept me out of the armed forces, but though not a titleholder, i would have been a champion most any other time...I am ?

    Bingo EM.
    Billy Graham was rejected for the armed forces in WW2 because of a heart murmur.But he became a pro and had 126 fights in his welterweight career, never floored, never kod and as his trainer Whitey Bimstein said never apparently hurt. I saw him many times and never saw Graham in danger. He had a great chin and Boxing ability, but his only drawback was his lack of punching power...
