May Rose R.I.P.


A big thank you to THIRDMAN whom I would not know a lot about Rose if not for him.
I got my hands on an original documentary with the life of Rose and several of his fights.
Rose was huge when he crowned himself champ.
So much that he met Elvis in Vegas chatted him up had a friendly sparring session and invited Elvis to Australia to visit.
Rose was the 1st aboriginal to capture a world title.
After defeating the heavily favourite Harada in Japan, Rose returned to Australia where a quarter of a million people crowded the streets in Melbourne waiting for him that's how huge Rose was.[/QUOTE
