    I agree, it's clear that Boston Tom wanted no part of Sam "The Ebony Lion" Mullinette.

    lo, that's some revisionist malarkey. It's funny how all of the experts at the time considered Boston Tom to be the greatest and now the armchair coalition rolls out to discredit him with baseless speculation. The color line didn't exist for Boston Tom, in point of fact, he was legitimately color-blind. Total Monochromacy, which is really a credit to him as he fought through this for his entire career. Cheers.

    Was a mite disappointed they showed no fist on moustache action there, though given the speed of Boston Tom's prodigious blows, even thrown by a pale imitator, it's no surprise they opted for the cheap shot. Wonderful tribute otherwise, even if it was callously used to advertise girly Dutch **** water.
