	A wizard of ring craft, possessing the fastest pair of legs owned by a human being in the prize ring. His speed was uncanny. He would literally surround an opponent with his amazing dexterity. At the same time he would be spraying the opposition with an array of left hand jabs that came from nowhere. When he was set properly for a right hand punch he could hit with more than annoying propensity.		A wizard of ring craft, possessing the fastest pair of legs owned by a human being in the prize ring.

	During the early twenties he was faced with some stern opposition. He fought Ace Hudkins in Chicago for ten rounds and there were some witnesses who claim he was never hit during the entire period.
