    I saw Ike Williams murder Beau Jack in Philly in 1948...Best lightweight i saw...But at the age of 29 Ike Williams was stopped by southpaw chuck Davey in 1952...Chuck Davey couldn't hold a candle to the great southpaw Lew Tendler, who gave the great Benny Leonard two tough
    battles, when Leonard was at his best...Toss-up, I think...
