  1. Only bad thing about Bobby are his shorts he wore against Williams 1🤣🤣🤣what the fk was he thinking😂😂

  2. Outstanding look at Czyz. I always thought, with his popularity, he had almost unlimited earning potential; but I guess he was fighting "too big," in the end. He was always just good enough to be competitive with the top fighters of his era; but never quite good enough to stay on top. He was always entertaining to watch, though. Very smart fighter and a lot of heart.

    As a side note, I always thought Prince Charles Williams was the best Light-Heavyweight of that era and avoided by virtually everybody. It would be interesting to see your take on his career….at least I think so.

    Anyway, great work as always! Keep it up!

  3. Great video! Czyz was a very talented fighter but was handicaped physically by his size. He was always the much smaller fighter with shorter arms, etc. Prince Williams looked like a guy that was 2 divisions bigger. Sorry to hear about his medical problems and I hope he's ok today. I think he should have become a doctor. I can't imagine he doesn't have some kind of CTE issues today but wish him the very best.

  4. I saw Andrew Maynard, who at the time was a highly thought of pro, sparring with an amateur boxer and Maynard seemed to get hit with everything to the point where they stopped the sparring early. I mean it was like Maynard had no idea how to slip or block a punch.

  5. Booby Czyz was a hell of a fighter, always admired him, went toe to toe with Holyfield as well. I never knew about his early troubled family life though. That’s why your the best Rich, well researched and fantastic fight footage. I remember talk of him fighting Tommy Hearns, that would have been a cracker. Interesting how fights go, if Padilla had of stopped Williams in the first fight when he was badly hurt, how their careers would have maybe gone in different directions. Great video Rich.👏🥊

  6. Thanks again for another amazing documentary. I really like Mr. Czyz's fights….always exciting. This video is one of my favorites.

  7. I met Bobby at meet and greet in Atlantic City in September took a couple pictures with Bobby joked with him and shook hands, He was very gracious to everybody who approached him that day I wish him all the Best nice guy.

  8. Great job on Bobby Czyz. He was on the rise despite tragedy of his father's suicide and he won two-division titles at light heavyweight and cruiserweight. Czyz was an underrated despite having a great boxing career. Keep it up Rich.
