    Power?

    I know his opponents and what not, but was he as manufactured as say, Billy Fox?

    Clark was a smallish fighter. 5'10 and he basically started his career as a LHW.

    His entire 48 fight career amazingly consisted of 92 rounds of fighting.

    So?

    Clark is one guy where the stats do not matter. He was a grade C fighter, up agaisnt many fighters who had no business being in the ring. Based on what I have seen and read, Clark had some power, but I think a guy like Butterbean hit harder.

    One of Clark's victims was the guy who played Duke in the Rocky series.
