    I'm only really just began looking into him. He seems to have been an agressive brawler type, but with a fair bit of skill.

    Fought Joe McAuliffle for 74 rounds, and seems likely he only didn't win because of some unfair treatment, though it was all pretty disputed and controversial. He then claimed the Lightweight Championship of The World.

    I'm not saying he's Benny Leonard, but probably deserves a lot more attention than he's gotten, which has been very little.
