    You left out HOFer Fritzie Zivic- Conn fought him, too.
    My father was born in Pittsburgh in 1925, and we are Croatian, so my early boxing education was centered around the Zivic brothers and Billy Conn.

    There are many quotes which they exchanged, Conn said something a long the line of “why did you not let me win the fight and have the title for at least a couple of months”, Joe said “you could not hold on to it for another 6 minutes, how were you going to hold on to it for a couple months!”.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Yeah I left out Fritize because he was really a welter.

    I still remember reading how scared Ray Robinson's trainer George Gainford was about putting him in with Zivic. He thought Fritz might ruin him.
