I was a champion...I went 44 bouts without a defeat...Then a stupid bout my manager made ruined my career...Until then I was highly thought of...Who am I ?
Marty Servo or Alberto de las Mercedes Cortes, but he wasn't a World Champion, so I'll go with Servo.
You are right,,Servo had his 8 pound heavier Graziano, I have my hhascup Servo before his terrible nose injury at thehands of young terrible Graziano, lost two CLOSE decisions to a prime Ray Robinson...Both fights were disputed, that's how good Servo was at that time... That Graziano 1946, pre Zale was the most thrilling fighter I have EVER seen. A wild street fighter, with a devastating right hand....Much too big for 147 pound Servo...Bad decision by Al Weil, Sevo's mgr...
