    Always heard Maxie Rosenbloom...but he fought almost 300 times.

    I guess I heard it because Joe Louis never fought him.

    Many only got in the ring with Rosenbloom, when they knew what was going to happen in the fight, before it began....;)

    Cleveland Williams. Of the top-ranked fighters, only Sonny Liston had the guts to meet him in ring center. Poor Williams.

    Ford definitely didn't win the fight against Sanchez. Sanchez hurt him numerous times at the end and ruined him for Pedroza. Pedroza didn't look that good again. He barely beat LaPorte and Rocky.
