Crap ... He was certainly an exciting fighter back in the 60s ... there were some great fighters during that decade ... RIP

He was a great fighter and a terrific person to talk to in person. I had the privilege of spending some time talking boxing with him at Canastota and he was always gracious.

May he Rest in Peace!

Oh ... Blessed your heart, mate ... that's a very cherishable moment, that we all would loved to have ...
