awesome story on basillio, he was a great welter-weight, and is RARELY talked about even tho he split 1-1 with back-to-back fights of the year, split with saxton 1-1 (got robben in saxtons home town), and beat demarco
check it out
its amazing how basilio is hardly mentioned on this site.
i was thinking the same thing, a guy who moved up in weight to fight sugar ray and split, u would think he'd b talked about a lot
Tremendous documentary, really shows the degree to which mafia control determined which matchups were made. Can't see things are much better with Jose Suleiman replacing the mafia in that role today.
