Never a champ,because of one HOF/durable

I had about 250 fights...Never really kod..I should have been champ,but for a HOF champ...I came from a fighting family...My name was......

 

Dave Shade?

 

Yes OLD FOGEY it was Dave Shade,who fought in the shadow of Mickey Walker Shade had about 250 bouts...He might have been champ in most eras but Mickey Walker SHADED,Dave Shade...b.b.

 

Nice pun.

Body shot knocks Shade down for the count. This was the only time Shade was put down for the count in his long career.

:think:think

 

True, but in 1919 Dave Shade was only NINETEEN years old...Amazing career Shade had ...He was called the "poor man's Harry Greb", for a reason...

 

I agree, just figured I'd put some clarification out there in the never really stopped bit.
