Interesting....I didn't know that.

I always figured Paret was just busting his chops.

Goldstein took a ton of heat from the media for the job he did that night, too, remember?

Griffith got loads of TV fights back in those days. He was a great boxer, and he fought a few 15 round snoozers with a welterweight contemporary of his who was also a master boxer, Luis Rodriguez.
