There is one fighter he beat (via tko 2:49 of the 12th round) who gave him his worse beating ever, and was carried out of the ring still wearing his crown. He turned down $35,000 for a rematch. Also, he pummeled Lou Ambers and was robbed 1937 none title. Lou was offered $35,000 turned it down. The N.B.A. on March 23rd 1940 stripped Ambers of his title for not Fighting Mr. Day as scheduled. Google, Davey Day nailing Lou Ambers. Have a good day all.
    One could say 'interesting point' or one could say 'a shameless bump.'

    This DD crusade . . . if I may ask . . . is it out of loyalty to an old friend, because I can respect that; admire that.

    P.S. I don't agree, but I have stated my case before and shan't again.
