Willie Gradwell, who was often referred to as Young Gradwell, is a member of the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame. In 1917, Gradwell was described by The Pittsburgh Press as "a conscientious mixer, who believes in giving the fans the best he has in him at all times. It is his willingness, as much as his ability, that makes him so popular. If there is anything the fistic fans like more than another it is to see real redhot action throughout a bout, and this is assured whenever Gradwell is in a bout." [1]
