    One of the toughest men who laced up the gloves.

    R.I.P to a true warrior in every sense of the word.

    I remember watching the documentary Carmen Basilio: Fighting the Mob and thinking he seemed to be a tough, stand up guy. Had alot of great fights and gave SRR a loss.

    Rest in Peace.

    Fantastic fighter.

    I don't mind veering into this cesspool of a forum to say R.I.P to a true legend.

    Carmen Basilio, you will be remembered forever.
