Information About

Fred Fulton




Fulton, although possessing a strong punch, had a checkered career against the other 'white hopes' of the era, and never landed a title fight. He did defeat Gunboat Smith , considered the best of the lot of "white hopes" on two occasions by TKO on November 27 , 1917 and by 2 round KO on April 7 , 1920 , but by this time the 'white hope era' had passed. During the 'white hope' era, Fulton was defeated by other 'white hopes' Carl Morris by disqualification on April 3 , 1914 , Al Palzer by 4 round KO on May 22 , 1914 , and Arthur Pelkey by 5 round KO on October 28 , 1915 .

Fulton's dreams of obtaining a title fight were dashed when he was KO'ed by Jack Dempsey in 18.6 seconds of the first round on July 27 , 1918 , and by Harry Wills in 3 rounds on July 26 , 1920 .
