    i was a fighter that fought almost weekly...i traveled to many countries,
    and beat a couple of hall of famers. I would have given anyone in my division trouble at my best...Kod only once in my last fight. of a busy career..Who was I ?

    That doesn't quite all fit Spider Webb (the weekly fights and lots of international travel rule him out, but everything else fits)...close, but no cigar.:huh

    I want to say Freddie Miller - but the numbers don't quite fit!

    b, it is freddie miller and the numbers do fit...
    freddie miller had about 250 fights and fought so often overseas,he was alled a world traveler...he was a tough southpaw fightingweekly and bi-weekly...because of his style and durability he would be a handful for
    any featherweight in history, it was said..he beat the great Panamaal Brown and the prime Chalky Wright...:good

    I thought of Miller as well, But I agree with Bukkake, as Miller was stopped twice. He also beat Baby Arizmendi

    Although some of the stats differed, I was thinking of Eddie Perkins. Only stopped once on a cut, holds the record for countries fought in (23 and some of them multiple times) and fought absolutely everyone.

    Yes, there was "hanky panky going on in their fight in 1932...Battling
    battalino [a bull] was dropped twice by the smaller light hitting Miller ithe 3rd round...Something suspicious was in the wind...For sure...b.b.
