Walter “Popeye” Woods

This guy took some impressive scalps. Lytel, Overlin, Kreiger. Seems like an in and outer of note.
He vanished from the ring in his prime ala Ali. Of course being a fighting Irishmen helps his legacy.

Thoughts??

My knowledge of Walter "Popeye Woods",consists only with Woods and I walking down the steps of Stillman's gym together. I only recall he was BALD headed. Didn't look like a fighter....

Hello,

I was wondering if you could tell me the full story you heard about Walter Woods being in jail? I am trying to do some research and it would help out a lot!
