His record was 127-11-9 (98 KO's) and he was born in 1883. He was fighting black fighters long before they wer eintegrated into the sport, and he caught a lot of hell for doing it. He was quoted once saying "fighters are fighters, no matter the color" which became his catchphrase.
Because of his decision to fight anybody, even blacks, history has not been very kind to him. I found some articles written by Bert Sugar on him, byt there were only 2. I'll try to link them up later. I find it amazing even Bert hardly ever mentions him in his ATG lists, or any other time.
It's almost as if history itself has tried to erase his legacy.
Why does'nt boxrec have him in their records?
You guys can get books of him in Library which will have photos, his story, etc...
