Comments Thread For: Eddie Cool: Philadelphia Boxer Honored With a Headstone

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

PHILADELPHIA - Eddie Cool was one of the best boxers to ever come out of Philadelphia. He compiled an amazing ring record of 95-29-15 with 15 KOs against the very best fighters in one of the true golden eras of the sport. He defeated world lightweight champion Lou Ambers in a non-title bout, but was never given the chance to repeat his accomplishment in a fight for the belt. He was just too good for his own good. And although his ability in the ring and undisciplined lifestyle outside it made him a local hero, Eddie Cool spent the last 64 years in an unmarked grave at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Philadelphia.
