The old timers here talk about the spider.
He was a big hit on the old Chicago Stadium. A great venue.
Back in the fifties when Chicago was a boxing capital.
He was extremely popular with victories over :
Terry Downes
Joey Giardello
Dick Tiger
Rory Calhoun
Holly Mimms
Pat McAteer
And Chicago rival the tough Bobby Boyd.
An older gent I work with says that he knows Spider well and says he wound up in law enforcement in Tennesee after his boxing days.

Spider Webb, according to Terry Downes and others, was one of the most under-rated middleweights of all time. A very good fighter. Possibly could have been a champion had he been in another era that was less full of talent.
