A must see. Teofilo Stevenson: The Peoples Fighter


Recommended Posts

Sit back sometime this week with a cigar and a drink and treat yourself to the full documentary.  Check out the trailer for now. 

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I remember watching that guy in the olympics. 72 and 76 maybe?  He was a very good fighter and stood a head or more taller than his opponents. Thanks for the flashback.

Just watched the full docu and loved it - truly an historical showpiece.

Loved Teofilo and Muhammad sparring at the end, lovely sight of two great boxers in their sunsets.

Thanks, great docu !

Foreman, Frazier, Ali, Norton would have killed him if a fight ever came together. Big difference between fighting 3 rounds vs 15, he did not have their hand speed and was a one handed fighter. The $5 million supposedly offered to him is a STRAIGHT LIE as Ali's earning's for the "Thriller in Manila" was $4.5 million vs Joe Fraziers $2 million. He'd a been lucky to get Chuck Wepner money ($100K). BTW, the government gave him 2 houses and 2 cars after his '72 gold medal. Him riding around Cuba on only a bicycle was another fantasy.
