Crisanto Espana was a damn excellent world champion.... massive reach.

Their flooding back now.

He was Puerto Rican and boxed in Ireland!

Venezuelan.

Yeah he was, I thought he was "British" in the same way that Olusegan could be classed as British.

Thats what he is down on Boxrec as.

I'm pretty sure Minter was 1980, too. He beat Antuofermo and was ordered to defend against him within 90 days - and then had to defend against Hagler within another 90 days.

Minter was 1980.
