Mr. Yancey,
They liked that kind of thing over there...............Not that there is anything wrong with that.
I'm a Prancer.
Reckon the first good hook upside the head or to the liver would have enhanced the prancing?

WBA Ratings
#1... Jerry Quarry
#2... Jimmy Ellis
#3... Eduardo Corletti
#4... Oscar Bonavena
#5... Floyd Patterson
#6... Thad Spencer
#7... Joe Frazier
#8... Karl Mildenberger
#9... Manuel Ramos

Look at Frazier's #7 ranking in March of 1968,
Looks to me like the WBA was pissed off that he blew off their tournament.
