One of those fighters that could give any fighter in history hell. He was as good as you can be within being, well, great I suppose.
His brawl with Gomez was a fight for the ages. A true warrior and his compassion he showed after the Owen tragedy showed he was also a man who is greatly respected. Johnny Owen you went too early champ. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/boxing-gloves-donated-lupe-pintor-1820498
