He seems to me like he was a victim of the boxing system. Not the brightest guy, but a scrapper.

I saw him fight Tex Cobb in Nashville. I was maybe 24 at the time. Was in the first 10 rows, was looking to see if I could spot my mullet.
10 rounds. Zero defense. Haymaker after haymaker from both sides. Just wild.

Well he did bring home the gold in the 1976 Olympics and he was U.S. Marine.

To his credit, after beating Muhammad Ali when prompted to declare that he was "the greatest" he said "No, I am not the greatest, I just beat the greatest."
He then prayed in Jesus name about being thankful that the fight went off without any problems.
That would get him ridden out of town on a rail, now.

Never wanted to hug either one & have beers, but if you watched & liked boxing, they were there.
Bless him.
