    He went to prison in 66', his career took a nose dive in 64' after his loss to Giardello and he was never going to improve, loosing all his big fights before going too prison against Tiger and Rodriguez and plenty of boxers that the man that beat Griffith wouldn't have lost too. Unless you're suggesting that if he didn't go to prison he makes some huge comeback ?.

      Here's the real story, not the one you saw in the movies.

        The Benton win too.

        Nothing compares to that amazing Griffith win though.

          Prison ruined Carter's career. Didn't you know?

          Had Carter not gone to Prison he would have been an ATG.

          It doesn't matter that he was 7-7 between 65-66.

            What aren't you buying?

            He was found guilty 2 times. He was never found not guilty.

            I lived just a few blocks away from the Lafayette Grill and I was a BIG fan of Carter because he treated me pretty good. He use to pitch on a softball team and when he saw me he would say, hey kid, do you want to be our batboy.

            With that said, I truly believe he and Artis did the murders. I know several people that were very close friends with the police captain and they all stated that he was a very fair and honest guy.

            I also read the web site many times, as it was up-dated several times. I once printed out all the information and it came out to over 500 pages, BUT it's a very good read.

                  Carter wasn't even in the top 10 at the time he was arrested.

                    I know it's a lot but if you really start getting into it, it will be very interesting.
