John H. "Sandy" Ferguson
|
||||||||
|
Ferguson was a big,
strong fellow who was not smooth and flashy but was durable and capable;
He served as a "trial-horse" for
many up and coming fighters of the time; He fought anyone who wanted to
fight - black or white - and dodged no one;
Ferguson was
a White Hope
of the teens |
