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.

Re: Great Champ died
Basillo was a tough no nonsense type of man. Demanded respect, and when he didn't get it from the great Sugar Ray, he made a vow that he would beat him in the ring.
Don't make em like Basillio or that generation anymore. Don't think they ever will again.
R.I.P. Sir.
