    Some impresive insights from Wills for sure.

    Both of them seem to rate Jimmy Braddock much more highly than most at the time.

    Johnson names Barbados Joe Walcott as the greatest fighter he ever saw.

    After Louis lost to Schmeling, Dempsey called Louis a bum and a nobody in the paper.
