Something different from my normal long-dead guys. Thought he was a great talent, ducked by the best competition in his prime, clearly robbed by boxing's corruption in his big fight. Seems to have lost interest in fighting serious competition at all afterwards, the Rolls fight was just embarrassing to the sport.
I don't do much modern (there's too much of it, pricing is absurd, and the amount of 1/1's makes master set collecting that I like to do an effectively impossible task), but keeping with "good looking boxing cards" is pretty easy when so few are made. UD's Goodwin and Topps Ginter line produce a good boxing card or 2 every year. I like the designs, and since everyone is only looking for hits to resell, if you buy when all the box crackers are selling off in the first weeks after release, everything but the marque hits can be had for very little.
