    I was a durable champion who took part in an astounding bout.I and two brothers were rough and tough, but I was the best and toughest of my weight division. I died training for a return fight religiously, that never came about. I could fight all night. Who am I ?

    Cm,I never got time to shake hands. Yep it was the much forgotten Ad Wolgast who while champion engaged Mexican Joe Rivers in 1912, in a bout in which both kod each other during an exchange for a 10 count, but the partisan referee Welch, awarded the fight to Ad Wolgast...Strange happenings ...:good:good
