Stracey against Napoles been mentioned?
That's up there, I would say.
Napoles passed his best but still a great win for Stracey whilst defying the odds.

I've got quite a few friends who follow boxing and when I've spoke about him they haven't known who he is, which is a shame because he's a gentlemen and a credit to the sport.

Was and Is a great credit to the sport..
People tend to forget, he beat Napoles in intense humidity at 6000 ft above sea level..
Jose was Cuban, but Mexico City was his home town.
Past prime or not, to beat and stop an atg in those conditions, infront of tens of thousands of screaming Mexicans.. Was, some achievement!

In Lamotta's defence, he didn't really seem all there. He's certainly on his last legs. The guy was falling asleep during his meal haha, was amazing to hear some stories from him though.
Stracey is a real nice guy, one of the nicest guy's I've met in Boxing. Good singer too.
