This comment was merely that a comment that I offered based on numerous conversations with someone of that era with some strong beliefs of the event. I believe Jay Helfert explained that Danny was probably in his late teens or early 20's when this happened and he was focusing on becoming a boxer so at 84 years of age I do have my doubts on the validity of his version. However I must say that having been close friends with Danny for quite some time he has told me a few thousand road stories and every once in awhile I check his facts on the event and he "dead balls on accurate". So I guess I don't take everything he says with a grain of salt. These stories for the most part are extremely entertaining and from my research mostly factual. I do know that there was a number of events that occured with Danny and Willie back in the day that Danny formed a pretty poor opinion of Willie's character, never his game, called him a master, but some personal differences over the years have tainted Danny's opinion of Willie, so I wouldn't doubt that some of this information is either fabricated or exaggerated.
