I had quite a short career of around five and a half years; I had about 60 fights in that period of time and I only lost 5 fights, the last one in my only Title fight; Fighting out of my hometown of Chicago, I was considered the next Italian-American superstar in the fistic game...at least for a short while; I was such a good fighter that even Ring Magazine had my photo in the cover of one of their editions; People said I had the face of an angel and the hearth of a devil. They even compared me to other Featherweight legends of the past such as Abe Attel and Johnny Kilbane; Tony Canzoneri manager Sammy Goldman, wanted to represent me and even made a great offer of 7,500$ for my contract; Amongst the tough fighters that I faced and beat in my short career, there's Young Nationalista, Billy Shaw, Harry Dubinsky and...Charles Bud Taylor and Fidel La Barba; I ended my career in the middle of a round, telling the referee to "Give him the fight"; After that...I went into a vaudeville in a song and dance act with my wife, Madeline; Who am I?
Battling Battalino?? What a top name eh! *Edit..just checked on him and he doesn’t appear to fit your profile. Damn, I thought I had it.
