Yeah I called him Gracie ..no offense intended...just a bad memory for names....but I had his mug pegged.
I almost guessed it as well, but I wasn't too familiar with him. I've seen photos of him getting whacked by Monzon though and I thought I recognized the face, but I wasn't sure.
Gracie Tona is close enough. You got it right Buzz.

Yep, Buzz is on the money again, it's Tonna.
I believe he is a frenchman of North African heritage and I read somewhere that his cousin is Charlie Magri, the old WBC Flyweight champ from the early 80's.

Yes!
It's Duane Bobick.
First time I have seen a recent picture of him. When you look closely, remove the glasses and imagine that big mop of hair, it takes you back.
Well done!

Yep, it's The Kray Twins.
Not sure if it's Reg and Ron or Ron and Reg. I think Ron & Reg.
This Ron & Reg in later life with their grandad who was supposedly an old boxer known as "Cannonball" Lee.
