    He was confused.

    He’s thinking of the time when the Thai club fighter Tire Iron Three Mile Island Gym upset the noted Filipino (not Philly) minimum weight Manny “The Envelope” Manila.

    Lauro Salas had no business defeating Jimmy Carter in 1952 to win the lightweight championship, but he did!

    That's the one that entered my head half way through reading the thread title mate . Have you seen the doc on YouTube when Steve Bunce tracked him down ? If you haven't I think the title is
    " Finding Kirkland Laing " Well worth a watch .

    Thanks Josey. I have seen bits of it but find Steve Bunce a hard watch. Far too shrill for my liking.

    I would say that Schmeling vs. Louis 1 deserves a mention.
