@ademir2z @daly_robinson Twitter isn't a place for reason, only sanctimonious indignation.

[HumeanBoxing @HumeanBoxing]

@GriffosHanky Definitely not, just a bullshit theory from a crap author. Mills was a lovable guy with a hint of shadiness.

@TomCraze @DeclanTaylor87 I loved him at Milan, had to have Baresi though so didn't really consider him. Yeah I barely remember his post-Milan career except for Chelsea.

@BoxingHistory In theory the IBU and NYSAC tried to recognise the same champions, of course it didn't always work out that way.

[HumeanBoxing @HumeanBoxing]

@BoxingHistory They were accepted, both in continental Europe and had connection with NYSAC. The organisation also still exists just with a slightly different name.

[HumeanBoxing @HumeanBoxing]

@BoxingHistory I don't disagree that the IBU was biased, but it wasn't like the NBA or NYSAC were ever paragons of objectivity either.

[HumeanBoxing @HumeanBoxing]

@BoxingHistory Did North American champions never make bullshit defences whilst holding NBA or NYSAC recognition?

[HumeanBoxing @HumeanBoxing]

@BoxingHistory Much like today there were four major organisations in 20s and 30s, each tried to play by their own rules. What made NBA or NYSAC more legitimate at the time?

[HumeanBoxing @HumeanBoxing]

@BoxingHistory Your original post said 'briefly claimed a portion of the title', I was only suggesting that his 'portion' was not held briefly,lol. IBU was as legitimate as NBA and NYSAC in 1930s.

[HumeanBoxing @HumeanBoxing]

@BoxingHistory Only the NBA recognition was brief. He held a portion (IBU) of the title for 5 years, and The Ring recognised him as the champion during those 5 years too.

@BoxingHistory @tommyboxeo It was the most watched tv broadcast in the UK in 1971 with over 21 million viewers

[HumeanBoxing @HumeanBoxing]

@GriffosHanky I had Alvarez up in the first too. Second I scored a draw last time I watched it. Two greats fights, first might have been better but the cut made the end premature and anti-climactic.

@Meraxes9 @milesshinkwin @PrezAVK why did you call it an over the weight match rather than a light-welterweight match?

[HumeanBoxing @HumeanBoxing]

@Meraxes9 @milesshinkwin @PrezAVK That's a technicality. Non-title fights were almost always over the weight in an age before all sorts of strange belts were on offer.
