    Would he still be as well thought of by some ?

    Would he still be as highly criticized by others ?

    I don't think it really matters

    I'm not Easton European or American so it doesn't really change my views on him

    I didn't hear that story , would you care to elaborate ? I did hear he fought my childhood Doctor ( Doctor Jack ) in a four round exhibition bout at St Athan air base though , Doctor Jack told me that himself over a few pints one afternoon .

    Imagine if people’s opinions on fighters abilities had nothing to do with their ethnicity?

    Whoa that was too much for my brain.

    It was posted by me ,its currently on page 6 or 7 and drew little interest, posters would sooner discuss Primo Carnera.
