"Defense" must have taken a different meaning back then.

Jose Roman... The Chris Byrd of the 70's ey haha

Jose 'King' Roman didn't win all those bouts on defense alone.

The man could box. He spanked {World-ranked} Jose Manuel Urtain pretty good.

Triple left-jabs, then a quick right-hook.
Jose Urtain 56-11 (decent opponent for the day)...

How many of his opponents were cruisers?

How many of his opponents were bummy?

There is an even quicker assessment that can be made...

Jose Roman... 53-27... Bummy record himself!

Foreman stages one of his 3 title defences against a bummy boxer, a massively out-talled and out-weighed one = proof of greatness for the OTNB's (look how Foreman handles him with ease!)

I wonder if Foreman were he champion today, would be ALLOWED to defend against someone like Roman! Kind of doubtful is what I'd say!
