	The great city of Youngstown, Ohio, has produced many a fine fighter: Lenny and Ray Mancini, Tommy Bell, Tony Janiro, "Red" D'Amato and Harry Arroyo, etc. One of Youngstown's finest from the 1940s and early '50s has been all but forgotten. Only the die-hard local boxing fans remember just how tough Joey was.
