Do not forget George Benton . That was a great win for Rubin as well. George was a high touted prospect a contender when Carter defeated him.

Sounds right. The Griffith win is his #1 win by miles seeing as how very few ever stopped Griffith at all, and he managed to do it in 1.

This may sound like heresy, but is there much beyond those named? Holly Mims and Fate Davis were okay wins, but not his best. The first three mentioned are the ones.

His one punch KO of Carolyn Kelley was pretty special.

I’m ashamed of myself for laughing this hard.
