    I came after young Griffo. Never a champ, but i might have been the greatest pure boxer ever in my weight class. I hold an amazing record that will never be equaled. i was not born in the USA.Who am I ?

    Burton,

    I love you, but, can we at least stay in tune with so-called modern reality?

    I've been doing boxing and research for 35 yrs, and I'm clueless here..

    This doesn't make me comfortable...

    At least give us kids barely under 50 a chance...:think

    Don't listen to him Burt.

    It's a weak man who avoids a challenge. We must tackle everything head on. Fear not.

    So... Burt... me old mate.. what do ya say... give us kids under 50 a chance??? :)

    Bill, to show you how fair i am I am sending you a trial box of pampers,for your disposal.:happy
    My guy was known in his time as a marvelous boxer,who though never champ
    was incredible.He was born across the pond,but fought in the USA.He holds a
    record,that will never be broken, and I as a youngster shook his hand. I can
    disclose no more,Bill.....

    Bobby,my guy in perspective,holds a remarkable record that I find astonishing
    He was compared to a famous stablemate of his.The PERFECT boxer, but no thunder...Ponder....
