Born in the Virgin Islands, raised in Connecticut, Cocoa Kid embodied the quiet brilliance of the era.
He held colored championships in both welterweight and middleweight divisions, fought over 200 bouts, and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2012 — sixty years too late for recognition.
