Until I went downhill, I was one of the very hadest punchers in my division.Never got a title shot from an alltime Champion...Kod other avoided and better known fighters..I had a bad ending..Who am I ?
dont feel confident with this... sam langford ?...guessing the tragedy was he ended up blind... didnt get a title shot from jack johnson...although earlier jack had beaten him in a non title bout {well, the 'coloured' title}
well done. didnt realise the 31 wins was his total record...i thought it meant he had a run of 31 wins and 28 ko's during his career....i'm just being irish again..
hh if I have to lose, it's a pleasure to lose to you. Yes, Lem Franklin who was a destructive puncher, koing some fighters quicker than Joe Louis, such as Abe Simon,Tony Musto,Lee Savold. He also kod Curtis Sheppard, and the marvelous Jimmy Bivins..After light punching Bob Pastor kod him in 1942, Franklin went quickly downhill,and was kod by journeyman Larry Lane, July24,1944, and died as a result. He might have been the hardest puncher of "Murderers Row "..Good show hh...
