rest after travelling the long road that landed him at the crest. San Diego, Cal if.
Behind Foreman, Frazier, Muhammad Ali and possibly WELTERWEIGHT
Jerry Quarry, there are no title threats in the heavyweight Mario Miranda 4/71 17 17 0 0 15
ratings. Argentina
This fact is driven home by this listing: 4, Jimmy Ellis ; 5, LIGHTWEIGHT
Ernie Terrell ; 6, Ron Lyle ; 7, the perpetual Floyd Patterson ; 8, Angus McMillan 10/70 22 18 2 2 10
Jose Roman ; 9, Ken Norton; l 0, Joe Bugner. Scotland
