    There was a documentary produced by BBC in the 1970s and I believe replayed on Channel 4 in Britain in the 1990s on Jimmy Wilde.

    Does anyone have this or know where to find it? I don’t see many comprehensive lists of boxing documentaries online.

    So he was like Willie Pep with Julian Jackso's power. He also fought with his hands down low like Ali.
