Kid Gavilan is one of the most underrated Fighters in Boxing History. Gavilan was a very clever boxer with outstanding footwork, a rock chin( never stopped and only dropped once in 143 fights). A very sharp combination puncher with quick hands and reflexes.
Gavilan dropped two close decisions to Sugar Ray Robinson then went on to win the Welterweight Title by outboxing Johnny Bratton and making 7 successful Title defences before being robbed against Johnny Saxton.
At his peak between 1949 - '54, Gavilan was unbeaten in 28 fights. He also beat Boxing Legends and HOF'ers Carmen Basilio, Ike Williams and Beau Jack.
