    Good display of skills, nice jab and movements, etc.....I don´t know how good was Minelli, but looking at his record he was a very decent fighter.....

    I remember watching this awhile back, one of the only Ike fights available.:verysad Seeing his stuff it seems Ike's boxing ability is a tad underrated since he is mainly known for his slugging abilities.

    The funny thing is Williams KO% is pretty low. Something like 33%.
    Great boxer though. I rank him just behind Leonard and Whitaker. A head of Gans at lightweight.

    Yeah no kidding. Look at the era he fought in though and was able to get the KO over every one of them besides Joyce I believe. Even put down Gavilan.

    Robinson couldn't in 30 rounds.
