He was a little dude that fought a long time ago. Not someone we talk about often, so lets do it.

His biggest win was probably a TKO 13 over Pete Herman.
He was stopped in 5 by Johnny Kilbane, and lost a 20-round decision to Herman. Also lost a 20-round decision to Johnny Coulon.
He had a 20-round draw with Kid Williams, and a 12-round draw with Memphis Pal Moore.

He had a lot of fights with no official decision.
He won three Newspaper decisions over Memphis Pal Moore.
Won two Newspaper decisions over Joe Lynch

Also won a Newspaper decision over Pete Herman and Johnny Coulon.
He lost Newspaper decisions to Johnny Kilbane, Abe Attell and Coulon.
He had a Newspaper Decision draw with Coulon.

So how good was he?

Good enough to beat Pete Herman but not Abe Attell.

I've been singing his praises for some time. Only man to stop Pete Herman in 83 bouts. I think him and Jimmy Leto could be the two best fighters not in the IBHOF.

One gray area is the Newspaper decisions (I hate those). He had a lot of them. How much credit should a guy get for those?
