Boxers who fought against great odds

[Bundana]

There was a French fighter who had his jaw shot of in the trenches in ww1. He had it rebuild and fought after the war. Unfortunately I cannot remember his name, but his picture was in Harry Carpenters book of boxing history.

Tommy Loughran fought most of his prime with a broken/bad right hand. It was good for a couple of punches and then he had to rely upon footwork, defense and his left.

Two-ton Tony Galento once ate 52 hot dogs prior to climbing in the ring with Arthur DeKuh in 1932. They had to slit the waistband of Galento's boxing trunks to make them fit, and he knocked DeKuh out in four rounds. He also won a $10 side bet that night.
