Charles Ledoux
Introduction '''Charles Ledoux'''  (27 October 1892 – 21 May 1967) was a French bantamweight boxer who was active from 1909 to 1926.While never capturing a world title, he squared off against the best opposition available to him both nationally and internationally. During his career, Ledoux faced the likes of Jim Driscoll, Georges Carpentier, Johnny Coulon, Kid Herman, Kid Williams, Eugène Criqui and Joe Lynch. Ledoux was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2014.He was one on the hardest hitting bantamweights in boxing history, with 43 of his 86 knockouts coming in the first 3 rounds and 16 of them in the first round.
