Cassius Clay ~ "1967 Planned Title Bouts"

[Bill Paxtom]

Roberto,

That's Mr. Candy Slim to you.

And did you know, that I snapped Muhammad Ali's head gear 180* around his head in a
1969 sparring session.

Damn had him out on his feet in a Boxing Exhibition in Charleston, South Carolina.

Only that 'thick skull' of his prevented him from falling down at the base of my feet.

[Master]

You say thick skull, I say great chin, heart and determination.

Cassius Clay,

Was a bit nervous about the 'Mexican Max Baer', Manuel Ramos.

"That boy is a big, and has a dangerous right-hand. I may just fight him in Mexico City,
in one of those 100,000 seat Bull Rings."

"I'm not sure I want him though. There is too much risk fighting him in Mexico City.
He's too young and too strong."
