And when I first started off, we had some great middleweights, some terrific fighters in Philadelphia with the nicknames Willie the Worm Monroe, Benny Briscoe, Bugaloo Watts.

And to me, the toughest left-hander I've ever seen was a fellow by the name of Eugene Cyclone Hort.

But his nickname was Killer.

What was Cyclone?

That was his Christian name.

Yeah.

That was his baptismal name.

Well, Don King had a very interesting concept.

He had the United States Boxing Elimination Tournament.

And the first fight was held on an aircraft carrier in Florida.

The second fight was held at his old alma mater, a prison in Cleveland.

And the third one I was assigned to at Annapolis.

And it was a unanimous decision, and the loser didn't like that he lost.

And it was a clear-cut unanimous decision.

So he made the announcement from the ring that he was going after the officials.

Well, as you can see, I'm not very large, so I wasn't going to stand there.

So I was flying to the back of the room, but out of the corner of my eye...

I saw him jump out of the ring, knock Howard Cosell down, and I saw something furry flying in the air.

I guess I was the only one in the world that didn't know he had a toupee.

Right.
