    A heavyweight who survived 127 fights and never stopped in the ring. Don’t know much about his opposition but he DID fight the hard punching Elmer Ray a bunch of times.

    He was certainly a robustly built man with a short, thick neck.

    4-2-7-1 record v Elmer Ray, seven of his 19 losses were to him. A high KO % record, and wins wins over Godfrey, Galento, Von Porat, McCorkindale, Unknown Winstone, Leroy Haynes as well as Ray, neat record. Also beat a fighter Seldom Heard, twice! Seems to be criminally forgotten now.
