Billy Hennessey (62145)
According to Cyber Boxing Zone Hennessey was a 'scrappy, give and take fighter' who served as a sparring partner for Peter Maher during the 1890's.
His most famous victory was a one round stoppage of George LaBlanche. This rating is speculative and not part of the database. |

Jimmy Kennard (10968)
Not a whole lot to go on.
Kennard's most notable win appears to be a newspaper decision over 'Rochester' Tommy Dixon. His most notable fight against the great Joe Gans ended in a sixth round stoppage loss. This rating is speculative and not part of the database. |

George Kessler (68442)
I'd love to find out more about this guy, information is thin on the ground.
His record (Boxrec) makes pretty good reading though. A 6 round points draw against NP Jack Dempsey was followed up by a KO victory over George LaBlanche, which looking at the Canadians record would suggest the beginning of LaBlanche's downturn. I've rated him as an overall 6, but I may have to return to this one. This rating is speculative and not part of the database. |

Eugene Bezenah (10993)
Bezenah's career was littered with draws.
He fought useful opponents throughout though never fought for a title. His most high profile victory was probably his points win over Oscar Gardner. This rating is speculative and not part of the database. |

You beat me to Bezenah. He had three brothers that fought and one of the brothers had a couple of kids that also boxed as well as a daughter who fought in the 20's. bear

He probably belongs in the main database. Please have a look at what I've done with him when you have time. I've got all my ratings up to date for my uni now(1892), so I shall be adding more here on a yearly basis (uni year). |

He tended to mix with fighters just below championship level. A journeyman in every sense of the word. This rating is speculative and not part of the database. |
