==Career Review==

'''Billy Daniels''' was a promising heavyweight in the early 1960s. Daniels stood 6 feet 4 inches and in his prime weighed 185 pounds.

He served in the U.S. Airforce from 1956-1960, and fought on the US Airforce Boxing Team. In 1956, he won the Bratanica Shield 175lbs. Title. A year later he captured the 12th Airforce, USAEF, and Bratanica Shield Lightheavyweight Titles.

Daniels was trained by future world lightheavyweight champion [[Bob Foster]] while in the Airforce. In 1958, Daniels won the 12th Airforce, USAEF, Bratanica Shield, All-Air Force, and CISM Championships.

Upon his discharge in 1960, Daniels won the New York Golden Gloves Heavyweight Title. He retired from amateur boxing with a record of 45-5.

Daniels was a good boxer with a decent punching power. By 1962, Daniels was rated in the top-10 of the World Heavyweight Rankings by [[Ring Magazine]]. And undefeated in his first 16 fights.

Billy Daniels was featured on the cover of the [[Ring Magazine: October 1962|October 1962]] ''The Ring'' magazine, along with a young [[Muhammad Ali]]. In a battle of undefeated prospects, Daniels was stopped on cuts by Ali.

Following his loss to Ali, Daniels went on to score an upset decision over highly rated [[Doug Jones]] to earn a birth in a heavyweight title elimination tournament. In the opening round, Daniels was decked and lost a one-sided decision to [[Cleveland Williams]]. After the loss to Williams, Daniels' once promising career took a nosedive. He started losing, and after suffering a 6th round knockout loss to [[Joe Frazier]] and a first round loss to [[Jerry Quarry]], Daniels retired to concentrate on his barber business.

In 1972, after a five year layoff, Daniels returned to the ring, only to drop an upset decision to [[Bob Stallings]] in New York. Daniels managed to score back-to-back 10 round decision victories and earned a fight with undefeated [[Duane Bobick]] who was 19-0 (19 knockouts). Daniels surprised Bobick and the experts, by not only lasting the distance, but by putting up a good fight.

Daniels was slated for a rematch with Bobick, but took a tune-up in California against promising [[Pedro Lovell]]. Daniels was stunningly knocked out in under 3 minutes.

Billy Daniels continued to fight until the age of 40. He even managed to box a 10 round draw with hard-punching [[Jeff Merritt]].
