His name was Jose Manuel Urtain, a cumbersome boxer but as strong as an Ox. He got his head jabbed off by Henry Cooper and knocked out Richard Dunn. When Muhammad Ali visited Spain he was on the look out for a fighter to take part in an exhibition bout. Urtain was ringside and Ali called him in for some of his usual trash talk, Urtain didn't give Ali a chance as he grabbed him, lifted him over his head and began to military press him.

I think he had over 30 straight knockouts against mediocre opponents. I think there was talks about him facing Frazier, Joe would have beat him up something rotten.

jiggy 3,207 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Seen Eddie hall boxing sparring on utube and he looked comfortable and fast compared to the mountain who looked slow and awkward looking for the killer punch every time . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
