protege of immortal,made name not boxing

As a kid I was a stablemate of an alltime great fighter...I had hundreds of bouts, but became famous ,not by boxing...I am ?

 

that dude from fights news?
The blonde guy, something's corner(can't remember the name), Ali's stablemate.

EDIT

I think it was smitty's corner or something, don't know how many fights he had though could be wrong.

 

nay

 

is it Victor McLaglen? Fought Jack Johnson in 1909. Was a famous actor after his boxing career.
My other guess is Tony Danza

 

I know he never fought professionally but Eddie Futch???

 

Nay

 

I looked like a leprechaun,but I was no fairy...HINT...

 

Are you saying this boxer had 100's of pro bouts. I know every boxer that had over 200 and there very few that it could be.

Cuddy DeMarco is one. He was the stablemate of Harry Greb and he after his boxing career he went broke because he spent much of it in a vain effort to restore the sight of his blind brother, Freddie.

Another one could be Rene DeVos, who was a spy for the Allied Forces, carrying messages from France through the German lines in Belgium, during World War I. BUT I think you might be looking for someone else.

 

No, it wasn't Greb,s stablemate Cuddy Demarco..This guy claimed he had 100s of pro bouts,only 136 recorded..
Hint,I saw him several times.....

 

Bruce Strauss? There was a movie based on his life story

 

Bruce Strauss, I saw him box at the Ice World many years and I also talked to him several times. I don't know if this is who your looking for because he was known for his boxing but did have 136 recorded bouts and claimed many more because he fought under different names. Other ones are Lulu Costantino & Fred Lenhart.

 

hh, no not Lulu Constantino...This guy had about 136 recorded bouts, was a stablemate of an alltime great fighter, and became FAMOUs, aside from his boxing ....

 

Could it be Augie Pisano

 

No, this guy was famous...

 

Art Aragon (?),

who was that american charater actor of the late 60's 70's always played the heavy or gangster type in comedies(Love American Style) and tv series', was defo an expug, the nose the lot and not very big maybe a FW or LW when he was boxing?

if not Art then maybe him.
