I've always had a bit of a man crush on that little guy. Villa would have never beaten a prime Jimmy Wilde. It has never ceased to amaze me over the years at the amount of people at forums that discount this little fella on biggest puncher lists or leave him off all together. 95 pounding soaking wet and has to be the biggest puncher if "pound for pound" means anything that ever walked the face of the earth
Anyway, Anthony "Sugar Ray Clay Jones Jr" Small has always cracked me up. Its so sad its great.
I read Wilde was a monster puncher, like Stanley Ketchell.
Anthony Small went extreme literally.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
