I was a boxing champion and was highky rated by my peers-but never mentioned by ESB posters.I licked 6 champions too.Who am I ?
I thought of him too, BUT he beat 7 Champions and if you count Callahan, that would bring it to 8. Mandell, Vince and Joe Dundee, Young Jack Thompson, Gorilla Jones, Freeman and Brouillard. Although, his win over Mandell was a newspaper decision, so it still might be Fields if he is not counting Callahan. I then thought of Brouillard, like in Lou (CLUE). He beat Thompson, McLarnin, Walker, Jeby, Olin and Corbett III.
Yes , your question for a clue to narrow the 'field',was appropo...He was a very very good welter...Anyone who could beat Lou Brouillard,had to be good..My dad saw Brouillard, a bull , who was built like a human fireplug...Strong,and a southpaw to boot...b.b.
