Another Great friend of mine, by the name of Paul Cavaliere fought Phil twice. He beat Galento and Braddock too. Paul was a top referee after he retired. He was the 3rd man in the ring with Zale/Graziano, Zale/Cerdan, Walcott/Simon, Robinson/Fusari, Harold Johnson/Eddie Machen, Tiger/Giardello, Ike Williams, Beau Jack, Kid Gavilan, Jose Torres among others. I presented him with a World Championship belt on his 85th birthday and several years later I give the Eulogy at his wake.
Well, that was what another poster mentioned, and frankly I find it hard to believe.. Johnson was born in 1928, while Arnold Cream was born in 1914, so he would have needed to be 14 years old..
