    Williams beat the sHi% out of Bobby. Bobby showed ALOT of heart before packing it in. He wasn't going to win the fight.

    Czyz was a very solid super middleweight and Light Heavyweight. He lost to some high quality guys like Hill, and Williams and beat some good guys like Leslie Stewart (although it was razor close) and Willie "Sand Man" Edwards. He was even solid at Cruiserweight and won a title over the decent Robert Daniels. He was physically much smaller than Daniels but used his smarts to box his way to a decision victory.

    He was a terrible HW though.

    That was a bridge to far.

    Bobby had decent technique and high IQ. He had limited physical abilities but he maximized what he had.

    I would say that he was more skilled than Galento and a better pound for pound fighter although not a better HW.

    Czyz was not a huge banger but most of his punches had leverage behind them so they often produced KOs after he landed a few of them.
