    Dude fought a ton of greats and did pretty well. Under-apprecitated midget, Siciliano...

    Fought...

    And lost to Greb in a tight fight.
    Tiger Flowers at least FIVE TIMES
    Jack Britton, Mike McTigue and Mike O'Dowd all to a Draw.
    and beat Tommy Loughran.
    and beat Mickey Walker.
    and beat Jimmy Darcy.

    Not respected enough, in my opinion.

    Tough guy. Only stopped once. Great last name. Blond, apparently.

    "Bridgeport Pocket Rocket"
    Fought Harry Greb on one of his off nights.
    "Haven't seen Harry have such an off night since the Bogash fight in Newark three years ago" typed Sam Taub when Harry lost to Tiger Flowers in Feb 1926.

    And beat Panama Joe Gans although "Panny" was a bit shopworn by then.
