Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto
A busy trailhorse heaveyweight of the 50's and early 60s. He fought predominately out of Luxembourg and Germany but fought some in other parts of Europe. He fought many of the recognizable European HW's of the 50's and early 60's if you study that heavyweight boxing scene. A decent punch but with a weak chin suffering 19 stoppages in his 23 losses.
His more noteable fights included wins over Richard Grupe(24-5-6 at the time), Piet Wilde, Wilson, Kohlbrecher, Tommy Farr, Prosper Beck(would fight once for the Belgium HW title despite an 0-16-0 career record!), Robert Eugene, Gunther Nurnberg, Uber Bacilieri, Jose Peyre twice and Frankie Daniels.
He fought draws with Al Hoosman twice, Gunther Nurnberg and Stephane Olek.
Losses were suffered at the hands of Johnny Williams, Gunther Nurnberg twice, Kurt Schiegl, Robert Eugene, Wilson Kohlbrecher, Ingemar Johansson, Franco Cavicchi twice, Maurice Mols, Dick Richardson, Hans Kalbfell, Brian London, Alain Cherville twice, Emile Vidal, Mario de Persio, Robert Duquesne, Benito Penna, Benito Canal and Federico Friso.
Enjoy...
