Basilio is involved in The Ring Fight of the Year 5 years in a row - 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 INSANE!

He beat Robinson in 1 out of 2 fights both fights ended by a split decision.

A third fight was going to take place but both fighters dident want it to happen because of the mob being involved.

He retired in 1961 with a record of 56 wins ( 27 KO's ) 16 losses ( 2 KO both by Gene Fullmer ) and 7 draws

He is one of my Favorite fighters of all time and if you ask me he is also one of the greatest of all times.


Song name The Roots - The Fire
