1946 - Another Big Year
If 1945 was the big year, 1946 proved to be much bigger in many ways. He had eight fights, more than any year since 1942, and the same number as for the rest of his career. He had his first loss to Tami Mauriello. And not least because in December, he married his teenage sweetheart and lifelong companion Nora Speight.
