Thanks for the kind comments! Yeah, I'd settle for "fringe contender" if we were talking about the "Blue" Lewis of the late sixties-early seventies. But when he climbed into the ring with McBride it was 1973 and past his prime at age thirty; he retired four months later.
Yet you make a good point...I'll meet you halfway and classify him as "second tier" heavyweight (LOL).
