I fought from Featherweight to Light Heavyweight; During my career I was avoided by almost everyone and you can say that I was one of the most avoided fighters in boxing history; I beaten 4 Champions, 8 times; I beaten 5 Hall of Famers, 10 times; I had great years in my career and between 1939 and 1946 I faced HOF's every year, including having 7 fights against them in 1942 and beating 3 of them in 1945; I will not say the biggest names I beaten during my career but I got wins over real tough cookies such as Aaron Wade, Jack Chase, Turiello, Kid Tunero and the warrior Jimmy Leto; I was born in the same day that Harry Houdini performed a very famous straitjacket escape performance. Who am I?
