Artie Towne question
Towne was reputed to be a "policeman" for Sugar Ray Robinson. However, looking at his record, whom did he actually knock off for Robinson?

Most of the names on his record do not "ring a bell"
other then perhaps Yvon Durelle ?

Blackwood, Lytell, Brimm, Hairston were prominent guys but calling Towne "Robinson's policeman" doesn't make sense. Even worse is Gene Burton being billed as Ray's policeman.
Re: Artie Towne question
Were they just his stablemates, and they were just kinda ordinary guys so they wanted to give themselves a little identity by saying they were Robinson's anything? That could be it.
