the disputed one, but i do)
Zeke
well, i've got to wonder if that 49 comes from the times when he also
held the world title...i'm unsure how it works, but could it be that
each time he defeated the US champ (#1 contender) he he "won" the
belt, but would of course not keep it..after all it's a step
down..just a thought..
