He did his job as champion...He beat who was put in front of him...It was a weak era in HW boxing this much is true but thats not his fault.....If he fought in the glory years of the 70's do I think he would of had the same record..HELL NO!!!!...but like I said he fought who was there...He was a fine champion to be respected...he always took care of business....I respect him the most because he knew when it was time to walk away and never came back...Something that is hard for a fighter to do especially one who had his record
