Darn it, Wiltz - you beat me by 8 minutes. Is that not great - or what?

I can't help but wonder after reading this article if Gable could have a much better and longer career if he had taken time to let his body heal and not pushed through serious injuries. I think a modern sports medicine and a strong-willed coach would have beneficial for him. I also was struck by how much of his training was about cutting weight.
