Henry Tuttle, marketed as 'King Tut', humongous puncher and welterweight contender who fought notables such as Young Jack Thompson, Jackie Fields and Billy Petrolle. Although coming off worse in series with Petrolle he did spark him inside 30 seconds in one of their bouts. Considering Petrolle's reputation (and he looks tough near the end of his career against Ross, not a big puncher admittedly) that's proof of this rugged character's power. Anyone read much on him? I take it there's no footage, not a surprise. Here's a damn fine piece on him http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/blog/?p=7968

Jimmy Goodrich had just fought King Tut & interestingly picks Tut to become champion within a year & to beat Sammy Mandell who he had also fought. http://news.google.com/newspapers?i...UsEAAAAIBAJ&dq=jimmy goodrich&pg=1794,1358998
S, nice piece on King Tut ...But on the light side: Nefertiti the Egyptian Queen said to King Tut, " I can't have sex tonight, I have my pyramid ".
