Gigante was 21-4 as a boxer. So he definitely wasn't bad.
Your argument doesn't hold water. 1. Pro boxing in the '50s wasn't exactly a clean sport. A young connected fighter's record may not indicate the true worth of the boxer. 2. Who did Gigante fight? Could've been a bunch of old club bums.
If those are the times he boxed in so be it, he is a winner. I hear what your saying but thats like saying Bonds was not a good batter because he was on the juice, well so were the pitchers. Chin had his connections and so did everyone else. Im sure Chin was gave a few and gave away a few, but its not like all 25 fights had big money that mattered on it.
