    Great story Sizie ,thanks.I remember an article years ago,in Boxing Illustrated ,about Murphy's fight with Mazim,think it was called "Joey and the slugging Sailor",if I recall ,the accompanying pictures showed Murphy with lumps and bumps over his craggy brows,courtesy of Maxim's piston like jab ,he was a rough ,tough belter,and played the BUll to Joey's Matador.

    Thanks for posting. I'd missed this story...Interesting what he said about LaMotta, he was a force.
