The Aboriginal fighter Ron Richards ,just how good was he? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTzEBEVoEfU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PruAheIOMEg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq5feniXOdc
Ron was a phenomenal fighter, his management was not. During the late 1930's he was good enough to have been world middleweight champion. He held the Australian middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight titles, despite weighing around the 160 pound mark his whole career. The footage of his victory over Gus Lesnevich shows an unbelievable counter-puncher. I wrote something about his career not long ago. http://www.boxing.com/ron_richards_what_might_have_been.html
