He clearly ducked Sugar Ray Robinson, Duran,Hearns,leonard,Hagler ,Sonny Liston,Ali and Floyd Patterson just to name a few
Not as silly as Roy convincing his parents to conceive him in an era where he didn't have to fight Gene Tunney.
And he decided to be born after the introduction of the super-middleweight division, so he could avoid a whole other weight-class! Appalling.
