Re: Rocky Gonzales (heavyweight)
YES HE WAS ABOUT THAT WEIGHT BUT WASN'T A BOXER AND IT WAS PROBABLY HIS FIRST FIGHT EVER. HE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HE HAD EVER SPARRED EITHER. HE ALSO LOOKED OLDER THAN TOO TALL. SO 20 IS QUESTIONABLE.

Re: Rocky Gonzales (heavyweight)
Is that newspaper report sufficient for his weight to be added?
Re: Rocky Gonzales (heavyweight)
Not really, it says he was billed as 240lb and 8-2 by the promoter, what he actually was is definitely something else, possibly 200lb and 0-0.

Guys! Don't you know who Rocky Gonzales is a famous boxing guy fighting under an alias? I'll glove you a hint -- he probably was the guy who fought as Terry Lee Kid against Gerry Cooney (when the real Kidd was unable to show because of snow.) He also fought several bouts in Maine.
