Re: Great Champ died
The father of a good friend of mine was a huge Basilio fan. Every time we watched the fights together, he would come back to how tough Basilio was, and how much he enjoyed watching him fight. Before he married his wife, one of their first dates was to see a closed circuit broadcast of a Basilio fight. It was a close fight and a brawl broke out before the decision was read, so he had to get his wife out of there, and then read the newspaper the next day to find out who won.

A great photo of a great moment, but the photo I remember of Basillo is of him setting on his corner stool looking out of the ring over his shoulder, with the largest hematoma on his forehead I had ever seen. The second Sugar Ray fight I think, the swelling on Basillo's head was unforgettable. A real warrior and tough as a nail. RIP
Just a dude in blue.

He always came off as very down to earth, good sense of humor from interviews I've seen. A helluva battler who learned on the job early and earned every bit of what he obtained. Be at peace Champ.
