What are your thoughts of this 100 pound per pound all-time great bantamweight?

He won the bantamweight tilte from Kid Williams, the great bantamweight champion from Baltimore who had won the bantamweight title on a 3-round knockout over Johnny Coulon.

The RING magazine (when it used to be good in they days before Nat Fleischer died) had a lengthy as-told-to artilce by Pete Herman giving his description of his title winning fight with Kid Williams.

There is a film of Pete Herman knocking out a British fighter in England.

He went blind.

One of the greatest bantamweight champions.

His fight with flyweight Jimmy Wilde is well known.

to me, he is one of the top 10 all-time greatest bantawmweights. Stopped once in 145 contests? What a fighter that is.

Is his fight with the great Jimmy Wilde is on tape?

No.

I would be very happy if someone could prove me wrong.
