2. He had Tommy Hearns who was undefeated, one ot the greatest welters ever, who was undefeated 32-0 with 30 ko's and at the begginning of his prime years. Tommy went on to win titles in 4 additonal classes.
3. He had a undefeated young defensive, great boxing, counterpunching wizard who was a two division champ at the time, and yes undefeated. This guy went on to win titles at the higher division.
4. He faced the guy thatwas ranked above him at a amateur and was ranked to beat him in the olympics. This guy was the Jr Middleweight champion of the world, undefeated, never ever went down amateur or pro. Ray stopped him.
