I've just watched his fight vs Napoles on ESPN classic and really enjoyed it. Stracey had an amazing jab, impressive even by today's standards, his reach looked huge for a Welter and he was taking Napoles's head off with each one he landed. What concerns me is that i've never heard of the guy, I've heard that racist git Alan Minter mentioned far more.
Have I been living under a rock or is the guy just very underrated? I certainly think that going to Mexico and winning the world title should have gained him more nostalgia with us Brit's!
