    Browsing Boxrec and came across this Lightweight from the 30's. 114 wins with only 7 knockouts. Talk about feather fisted! Anyone know anything else about him?

    I see he split two fights with Wesley Ramey and had a win over Leo Rodak.

    Ramey was a bloody good boxer but he probably couldn't punch as hard as Guggino posting a paltry 11 stoppages in nearly 200 fights.

    Rodak was another top line fighter who couldn't dent a grape, scoring a woeful 6 KO's in 115 fights.

    Needless to say each of these fights went to decision but the sustained success of each of these guys is further proof that power isn't everything.

    With that little power these guys obviously had some serious skills to win so many fights.
