    Wins over Joe Walcott,Dick Burge,Kid McPartland ,Andy Bowen ,2 draws with Young Griffo,another with Frank Erne . Should he crack the top 15? Top 10 even?

    Described as a savage battler ,a former bareknuckle fighter ,he is never mentioned with the greats at lightweight,should he be?

    An absolutely wonderful fighter and possibly the divisions greatest puncher.

    I think he was great, yes.

    This guy is one of those candidates for best conditioned fighter ever; like a Hagler or Marciano.

    I thought Sullivan called Joe Gans the greatest fighter of his size he ever saw?
