    He was a bit older and had a very sharp memory of the 40s and 50s when he grew up... I believe he was a New Yorker or at least grew up there... Used to tell cool stories about the fights at the Garden... Huge Ray Robinson fan, as well

    His screename was for the actor John Garfield who was the lead in the most famous version of "Body and Soul"

    Sad news. He once wrote me a message motivating me to become Fightbeat's official movie critic. Very nice gentleman. RIP Mr. Garfield.

    Joe was the Army Featherweight Champion in the fifties while I was the Air Force Featherweight Champion in the eighties.

    Happy Veteran's Day to all my brothers and sisters in uniform now and who have served previously.
