    Does anyone have any info on this 1960's middleweight contender?

    He auditioned for The Monkees as the 'dizzy' one, but lost out to Peter Tork.

    He was mainly known for flooring Benvenuti and getting a draw in a non-title fight when Benvenuti was champ. Benvenuti came back to pick him apart and stop him late in a non-title rematch.
