    Again, this could be any one of the oldtime Greats, such as Armstrong, Walker, King Tut, Wells, Zivic, Mysterious Billy Smith, etc.

    I will go with Zivic and Mysterious Billy Smith

    hh,you got Mysterious Billy Smith right...But the other guy was a throwback to Billy Smith, who incidentally once chomped on Joe Walcott's scalp...
    HINT,this other tough ******* once ruined the streak of a NY sensation...Great betting money was lost....
    P.S. Fritzie Zivic ,would have been a good choice, but was refined compared to my guy...I saw Zivic upset Philly sensation in MSG, 1945...Now who is the other neanderthal ?

    No, not Tony Pellone
    Hint this guy was before Pellone...Tough as nails, feared no one, and was feared by all fighters in his division...He was quite a card....

    I would say Henry Armstrong BUT that would be too easy.

    No, not Hammering Hank...
    Hint,he fought at a higher weight later on...Was once called by a famous boxing commish,who saw them all as a brutish animal...
    My dad saw him flatten a young prospect sensation....One of a kind...

    Ace Hudkins was called that by William Muldoon, BUT I that might be too far back.

    hh,Yes Ruby Goldstein it was...
    Ruby Goldstein was called the "Jewel Of The Ghetto ".He was called the new Benny Leonard...Ruby won 23 fights in a row and FLOORED about everyone he fought..Nat Fleischer I read called Ruby Goldstein the hardest one punch hitting lightweight, since Aurellio Herrara...My dad saw GoldsteinB>B>Well in the first round Goldstein landed his vaunted right hand dropping the Lamotta like Hudkins on his back..Assuming another knockout, Ruby was shocked when Hudkins got off the canvas, lasted the round and kod the glass chin Goldstein in the fourth round...Hudkins was a toughie...What a WAr that would have been between Mysterious Billy Smith and the equally rugged Hudkins!!!.One for the ages, I think ...b.b.
