    Leto has wins against:
    Charley Burley
    Cocoa Kid x3
    Young Peter Jackson
    Benny Bass
    Battling Battalino
    Fritzie Zivic
    Wesley Ramey
    Chalky Wright
    Izzy Jannazzo

    Plus a draw against Lou Ambers and Ramey

    With a very good record too 126-31-12. Stopped only 3 times in his career.

    Had weight advantages in some of his bouts but only a couple lbs. Wright is a major outlier weighing 22lbs less than Leto in their fight. But he was outweighed by Battalino, Burley, Holman Williams, Georgie Abrams and by Cocoa Kid 3 out of 4 times.

    Is he an underrated ATG? With a resume and record like that I think he’s right up there with the greatest of all time. Do you agree?

    I thought he was terrible as The Joker.
