This is true, but at the time Bucceroni fought LaStarza he was still ranked at light-heavy.
Here's another report on one of Louis's "fights". Detroit, Dec. 15 - Boxing commissioner Floyd Stevens said today there will be "no more...
I don't believe Charles-Satterfield was an eliminator in any formal sense. At the time, there was talk that Charles would face Valdes next to try...
