Clay won in 6 rounds by unanimous decision over Tunney Hunsaker. Clay won gold at the Olympics earlier this year and I think he has some potential and he might be a top 10 boxer in the world someday. However, I don’t think anyone’s topping Archie Moore anytime soon, as he’s held the light-heavyweight title for 8 years now.
