    I had the pleasure of knowing Joe Borrell, who fought and won a newspaper decision over Greb and even dropped him for a 9 count. We put up a monument of him in Cliffside Park, NJ and I was the MC.

    H, in the photo above it shows Chuck Wepner, who looks like a dead ringer for Bill O'Reilly of Fox News..
    PS Gus Lesnevich was also from Cliffside, NJ...

    Yes, Gus was also from Cliffside Park.

    I saw Chuck Wepner last week at the Teddy Atlas affair and he didn't look too good, so I asked him how he was feeling. He said that he has been going to several doctors & hospitals getting tests. He has a tumor but he doesn't want to be operated on. He said, as soon as they open you up, it's over.

    H, I'm so sorry to hear about Chuck Wepner's illness.. I hope he will overcome this problem...He is a throwback to the oldtime fighters...
    Hope must prevail...
