Clarence "Cotton" King was a member of the United States Navy, before being honorably discharged in the Summer of 1944. In December of 1945, he was described as the top welterweight in the South and a "rangy puncher... formerly a counter puncher who preferred to have his opponents do the leading, (but) adopted an aggressive style that had made him one of Miami's biggest box office draws."
