Curtis Cokes Tributes
Curtis Cokes, who passed away on May 29, wore the world welterweight championship from 1966 to 1969, when world titles in boxing really were just that, world titles. He probably would have held it for considerably longer had he not had the bad luck to run into a Mr. Jose Napoles.
