    In my career I beaten 3 Champions of the World and 3 Half of Famers;
    In 1930 alone I had 5 fights against 2 HOF's;
    Before that, in 1922, I had 3 fights against 2 HOF's and I went 2-0-1, beating both;
    I never got the chance to fight for a World Title but I had dozens and dozens of fights against the very best of my time;
    Amongst the tough fighters that I beaten, there's Midget Smith, Joe Glick, Spug Myers and Edouard Mascart;
    Some may say I was just a journeymen and not a top contender....may God forgive them cause they don't know what they are talking about;
    I was born in the same month and year of Hannah Arendt and Primo Carnera;

    Who am I?

    At first I thought it may be the unfortunately named Henri Dewancker, but on closer consideration I think it's more likely to be Eddie Anderson.

    :lol: Imagine someone coming up to you and randomly blurting out that fighters surname at you on its own?

    You might interpret it as semi broken English and perhaps reply with - “Well, that’s a rather personal question - the type of question ONLY a Wancker would ask!” :lol:

    Haha. Alexander DeGrate vs Henri Dewancker would have been a hell of a match up.

    Lol. My money’s on Dewancker straying below the belt line (his own) and being DQ’d for it.
