Thanks for that little slice of history. That was before I was following boxing.... but I remember the jokes about when Joe "King" Roman got a shot at Big George Foreman. The prevailing local joke was that the singers had not yet finished the national anthems when George lowered the boom on Roman. I also got a look at his final record and was surprised that he kept on fighting as long as he did, taking a lot of TKO/KO losses toward the end of his career.
