Well, I got me curiosity up quick about this Jumbo Gauvin. A guy out of Vermont. I've started researching him and I'm finding quite a bit of a boxing record for him in the newspapers. So I want to complete through a rating for this guy which I'll base on what I find in the newspapers, not what BoxRec has. Don't have rating file yet for him, but here is what I've unearthed so far along with a photo I did fight of him.

If you pull my fighter photos you'll see I reference the paper source I found it. If it don't have any and just their name its from BoxRec.

TITLES:
Heavyweight Champion of Vermont

Unknown information has been left blank

Real Name appears to be Ernest Gauvin.

The only two fights listed in BoxRec for Gauvin is Oct 1936 2nd round KO loss to an Oliver Shanks and then In January 1941a 2nd round RTD to a Bat Mazzolla. Per BoxRec this was for the Vermont State Heavyweight title.
