I watched his fights as they happened. Instead of persisting with this BS, take a look at his record ,you will see most of the tko's he got were after he had floored his opponents and they were in bad trouble.
Queenie wrong again,Ground Hog Day once more on the History Forum!
Billy Daniels had a lot to say about cuts when he started looping his shots that were rocking Clay until pulled based on a minor cut..

Associated Press - May 20, 1962:
Young Cassius Clay of Louisville stopped Billy Daniels of New York on cuts in the seventh round Saturday night of a battle of unbeaten heavyweights at St. Nicholas Arena.
Referee Mark Conn halted the contest at 2:21 of the seventh of the television fight because of a nasty cut over Daniels' left eye.
"It hampered his vision," said the referee. Daniels was gashed over the eye in the third round and bled freely the rest of the way.
Dr. Sam Swetnick had visited Daniels' corner after the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds.
