Giving Walcott an immediate rematch after having gotten battered from post to post in the first fight, and being behind on all scorecards 8 rounds to 4, was a brave thing to do.
Next, fighting a 32 year old great Ezzard Charles TWICE, was also gutsy.
Furthermore, fighting LaStarza WHO MANY THOUGHT OUTPOINTED MARCIANO in 1952 took a lot of nerve.
Then fighting a man 30 pounds heavier and 4 years younger, THE BRITISH HW CHAMPION, Don Cockell, was also brave.
Finally, fighting a great man Archie Moore in 1955---- WHO WAS SO "WASHED UP" THAT HE HELD HIS LHW CROWN FOR 8 MORE YEARS!!!---- was a brave choice.
