Ike Williams was a monster - tough tough guy. Had the same style as Ruben carter but a little bit more finesse.

Re: Ike Williams Tribute
My friend met him once in a gym, many years ago. He said Ike was pretty old at the time and very soft spoken and polite. He was just standing there in the gym, watching, and nobody paid any attention to him. My friend thought that that was sad.

Thanks for this post! Those interviews are fascinating, Williams' story about money problems is one that is repeated too often in boxing.Originally Posted by scribbs
