    Could be both Walcott and Langford... but with the "sad ending" in mind, Burt is probably thinking of Walcott.

    Langfords end was not exactly happy.

    I still go with Benny Lynch who drank himself to death at a very young age.

    Yes it is the "Barbados Demon" Joe Walcott...At only 5ft1.5" he was a pocket Hercules, who fought much bigger men than he ....His biggest
    nemesis was the greatly underated Kid Lavigne who SHOULD be included
    when discussing great lightweights...
    Sadly Joe Walcott was a porter in the old MSG ,before he died...
