I watched videos of him the other day, his greatest “hits”.
I was sure before then that Iron Mike would defeat him handily.
Now I’m not so sure at all.
Both in their prime, would have been a GREAT fight!
I will never forget watching a fight, way back in 1960-61 between Sugar Ray Robinson and Carmen Basilio. I immediately sensed that Sugar Ray was very skilled even though I knew nothing about boxing, having just arrived from India where we had no TV in 1960.
Recently they were showing some clips of Sugar Ray on TV, and one of the famous boxer commentator said he was one the best boxer he has witnessed, ever.
Rocky Marciano I knew about in India from news papers.
