The reason he isn't a boxing legend and in the HOF is he fought at the same time as Mexican legend Vicente Saldivar. I think they fought three times and every time it was for the undisputed featherweight championship. Winstone just couldn't get over that hump. He finally won a strap when the WBC stripped Saldivar. Winstone took out the fine Mitsunori Seki for a strap. I could be wrong, but I don't think he ever defended it.
I haven't seen the movie. I wonder who they got to play Saldivar? Now I gotta find a way to see this.
Well... Then I suppose I'll have to watch the movie.....
Here's a link
That looks GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot!Quote:
