I understand Percy was a Marine from Philly. Ali, then Cassius Clay won titles in AAU and Golden Gloves. One at 178 and the other at heavyweight. Figuring they could get two gold medals Clay dropped down to 178. Clay/Ali always had trouble with southpaws. He ends up fighting a Pole southpaw in winning gold at #178. Franco DiPiccoli of Italy, a southpaw won gold in the heavies.
