Cool A couple of heavyweight "opponents"

I've been copying quite a few fighters from this string without giving any back, so here are a couple of heavyweight journeymen/opponents/trialhorses for you who are performing as expected from my 1940-50 replay list.

First is Gino Buonvino, an Italian who later fought out of the US and posted a 19-9-2 record with 3 KOs, 1944-52. Weighed 195-206. He didn't beat anyone who's in the game, and lost to Lee Savold, Nick Barone, Joe Baksi and Roland LaStarza. He is most well known for two knockout losses to Rocky Marciano. Buonvino beat fringe contenders Art Henri and Jimmy Carollo, KO'd lightheavy Dolph Quijano and fought a draw with LH Herbie Katz.

Next is Young Harry Wills of the US, who fought 1939-56, posting a 21-27-7 record with 5 KOs. He weighed 190-204, BoxRec 022094, and fought mostly contenders. His highlights were a win over Freddie Beshore and a draw with Unknown Winston. He lost to Kid Matthews, Pat Valentino, Rex Layne, Jimmy Bivins and Clarence Henry among fighters ranked by TBCB. Also lost to Buddy Walker, Rusty Payne, Buddy Knox and lightheavies Jimmy Reeves and Bobby Zander.
