Tommy once arrested Pa Barker of the famours Ma Barker and the Barker boys gang. I have a photo of Barker behind bars in Tommy's jail with Tommy standing there with him.
Tough call. At his peak as a boxer he was arguably the No3 heavyweight in the world behind only Dempsey and Wills. As a sheriff he did get a number of high profile arests and was re elected untill he was 68 and too old to serve further. I guess that he got to a higher level as a boxer but enjoyed better longevity as a lawman.
nice analaysis of his 2 careers only on esb can you have a guy saying 'I guess that he got to a higher level as a boxer but enjoyed better longevity as a lawman.' btw im not disrespecting you Janitor i just think its kinda funny
I think he was underated as a law man. Imagine Gibbons v Earp at the OK coral. I think Gibbons takes him.
