	'''Eddie Cotton''' was a light heavyweight contender from the late 1950s until his retirement in the late 1960s. He was known as a good defensive fighter, although not very exciting. He was also prone to getting cut in fights. His style was undoubtedly influenced by his original trainer, [[Frisco McGale]], who had boxed in an almost identical manner.
