Ray "Windmill" White is listed at cruiserweight, although the division didn't exist when he fought at that weight in the 60's. White was a heavyweight who moved down to the light heavyweight class. Please fix!

Ray "Windmill" White was a light-heavyweight. I remember him
well because:

1. He is from my home area, Ventura County.

2. He fought Lonnie Bennett in the main event on the
first professional boxing card that I saw in person.

3. He got lots of ink in the Ventura County Star-Free Press
and in the boxing publications of the day.

4. He was the clown prince of boxing at the time, a boxer
who was known for his antics in the ring. Believe me,
there were many times when boxing fans were "in stitches"
when watching him fight.

Which means he should not be listed at cruiserweight!
