Instead he went into suclusion and disappeared from the sport. I just feel he could have went on to become even greater.
Totally agree his victory over Nino Benvenuti when no one expected him to win was damn impressive and it was even more impressive what he done in rematch and what is so strange is that he had worst life style possible 5 packs of cigarettes a day he would be running with a cigarette in his mouth plus all the drinking he used to do they called him iron lung didn't they ??
