As a kid, I gave up of school right after Grammar School and I worked for a bootlegger before I accepted 7.50$ per bout to start my boxing career; Soon after, I won 100$ after knocking out my opponent in a fight organized far away from my hometown, but I lost all the cash during that same night in a dice game; I had to ask for some cash to the promoter of that fight so I could buy a train ticket back home; I continued to climb the ladder and eventually I earned my shot to a World Title and I didn't miss the opportunity; I never beaten a Hall of Famer and I only managed to beat 2 Champions of the World during my career; However, if you look at my record you will find more than 120 wins and an impressive number of top contenders - many of them avoided by everyone else - amongst my victims; I faced and beat a great deal of tough fighters such as George Nichols, Al Mello, Clyde Chastain, Arthur Schaekels and Jock Malone; I was fast and my jab really took me around the World, but according to many experts of that time, my Ring IQ was my main weapon; For decades, I was quite close to a beautiful sex symbol Hollywood actress; I was born in the same Month and Year that Jack London's novel "White Fang" started to be serialized by Outing magazine; Who am I?
