Name That Boxer Trivia/Riddles Thread!!!!

I am the only heavyweight in history to have been given a title shot in my professional debut, which I lost by knockout. Who am I?

Pete Rademacher, against Floyd Patterson.

A quick side note: Oscar de la Hoya's handlers initially targeted then-junior lightweight champion Genaro Hernandez for his pro debut.

"I've got Bug Eyes and I recorded a rap song about boxing." Who am I?

[JakeNDaBox]

Correct! Too easy?

The Godfather part kinda gave it way... though I better remember him for his one scene in Goodfellas.

OK my turn, probably an easy one:

I never won more than 15 fights in a row at any point in my career. I've lost on points, I've been knocked out and have been disqualified. Yet despite such unimpressive numbers, I've also won multiple titles, was a pound-for-pound entrant for much of my prime and was voted into the Hall of Fame in my first year of eligibility.

Who am I?
