Vicente Saldivar
Vicente Saldivar (1943-1985) was a Mexican boxer who held the world featherweight championship from 1964 until his retirement in 1967. The video clip above is Saldivar weighing in to defend his title in London on Sept. 7, 1965 against Howard Winstone. Saldivar won.
Note the large all-male audience at the start of the clip. In 1965 Britain, nobody saw the need for a privacy towel with an all-male audience.

And I wonder why they feel the need for towels nowadays. I just do not understand why men are supposed to be ashamed of what nature has provided.
Vicente Saldivar was only 22 at the time of his nude weigh-in. I'd sure like to bring back these mandatory weigh-in events, with the athletes totally stripped. I'm quite sure many fans would pay $$$ to be in the audience!
He was a cutie.
That would have been my only interest in boxing.
Only men in audience
