comparable in some ways to paulie mallinaggi in that he had a great chin and not a lot of power. superb boxing skills by all accounts. he even fought in brooklyn too.
Many years ago I met the retired elderly Benny Valger in Coney Island area of Bklyn. Might have been the best pure boxing LW ever. Lacked punching power though...
Never heard of him until l read a bio on Arcel but he sure had a high opinion of him. I can't recall which 70's fight took place but l recall Arcel reaching watching someone sparring and reaching into the back of his memory and comparing him to Valgar.
