Re: Journeyman The Mouse :-)
Believe it or not The Mouse is still involved in boxing... believe around the Kansas area...
What his true record is, no one will probably ever know... he was in that amazing time in boxing where opponents and prospects often traveled together and traded "wins"... going from town to town, collecting cash, and heading on to the next state or county... Frankie Hines, Donnie Pendelton, Danny Wofford, Reggie (and Ed) Stickland* and many others did the same things... this was before the federal ID card, to keep track of how often people fought, and how they won or lost... A true legend in boxing, needless to say.
There is alot of people who figured "The Mouse" didnt even exist... or that he was a combination of many fighters who used the same name, etc... but he was a real guy, who just happened to fight under several aliases whenever state commissions or authorities got too wise to his whereabouts, etc.
For most part, that was the same issue or problem with Eric Crumble... alot of people don't believe Crumble even exists, that its a name people used alot and record keepers assumed was a singular person, etc... but nah he's a real guy too. Years ago, I went looking for Crumble and he does still reside in Wisconsin, but he refuses to do interviews or refuses to lace up the gloves again (originally the goal in finding Crumble was to see if he would accept a fight with either Andrew Hartley or Charlie Zelenoff, because Crumble was 0-31 as a pro and the thought was certainly either of those two could beat him, and the match would be appropriately called "The Rumble With the Crumble"). Lmao
*Strickland refuses to do interviews too, mainly because he was featured on a special with Bryant Gumbel and claimed that the interview was doctored, heavily edited, and made Reggie look like a dive-for-hire, and ever since hasnt trusted the media.
