    How do we assess Battling Battalino?
    A Featherweight Champion good enough to beat;
    Kid Chocolate
    Andre Routis
    Bushy Graham
    Panama Al Brown
    Bud Taylor
    Freddie Miller
    Al Singer
    Cocoa Kid
    Lew Feldman
    Fidel Labarba
    Yet lose to many minor lights and finish with a moderate record of 57-26-3
    Being thrown out with Freddie Miller for an attempted tank job and suspended at one point.
    In my Featherweight thread nobody gave him a second look as far as including him in their all time top ten,though he has wins over 4 that feature in some lists. Where does he stand in the all time ratings at Feather? Outside the top 20? Just inside it? Not even in the top 30? What do you think?
