    Just looking at his record and he has some impressive names on there.

    Johnson x4 , Jeannette x 10 ,Young Peter Jackson x 3 Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Walcott , Battling Jim Johnson, Jeff Clark , George Cole, Charley Stevenson x5, Bob Long.

    Maybe the journeyman of his day? Does anyone know much about him?

    On www.cyberboxingzone.com one can see his record and there also is a picture. He was no big guy regarding his height and weight, but certainly one of the very tough fighters of that era who are forgotten today.
