An oldtime featherweight contender
Here are my rankings for Frankie "Kid" Covelli, a featherweight contender from Brooklyn, N.Y., 1930-40, BoxRec 009564, who weighed 116-129 and posted a 62-35-16 record with 16 KOs, fighting all comers. He was 5-14-4 against fighters ranked in the game, but the wins came against such notables as Sixto Escobar, Willie Joyce, Jimmy Perrin, Al Roth and Petey Sarron. He drew twice each with Baby Arizmendi and Roth. Losses to fighters in the game included Henry Armstrong, Joyce, Leo Rodak, Perrin, Midget Wolgast, Freddie Miller, Mike Belloise, Jackie Wilson, Young Rightmire, Sarron, Petey Hayes, Sammy Angott, and to Petey Scalzo in his lone title shot. He also won against contemporary contenders Tommy Paul, Al Mancini, Umio Gen and Irv Eldridge; drew with Lew Feldman, Mickey Miller and Jack Rudko; and lost to Tony Chavez, Bobby Ruffin and Pablo Dano.
Only Scalzo and Hayes KO'd him in his prime.
