    Hmm... it can't be Bobby Britton, as he fought outside the USA. So for the last one (now that Billy Papke Jr. already has been mentioned) I'll go with:

    Mysterious Billy Smith Jr.

    B, you got the last 2 fighters I had in mind who were sons of great Hall of Fame Champions who fought almost all their bouts in the USA. Bobby Britton-son of the great Jack Britton who was a tough journeyman fighter who had 105 bouts in which he was stopped but 2 times only, by
    Fritzie Zivic and the avoided Cocoa Kid...His great dad Jack Britton had an amazing record of 344 fights in which he was stopped but ONE time as a
    prelim fighter...Britton went about 330 fights without ever being kod...One of the most underated welterweights in history and of course ESB...
    Billy Papke jr-son of the great Billy Papke, arch rival of the Michigan
    Assassin Stanley Ketchel...
    Young Bob Fitzsimmons- HW son of Ruby Bob Fitzsimmons.
    Marvis Frazier-son of Joe Frazier whom I saw ringside FOTC
    Julio Caesar Chavez- son of the great lightweight JCC..
    P.S. all you guys did real well adding to my list

    Young Bob Fitzsimmons was a journeyman heavyweight who was never stopped in sixty recorded bouts. It appears that he died while a resident of Santa Barbara, California during the 1970s.
