I still think that over a 12 year career and filling that kind of role, we should have seen more fights. that's just me though.

There were a lot of guys with low fight totals then so it is a symptom of that era. Only a handful of guys from that time were racking up the fighting majors. O'Reilly, Howatt, plett, Tiger come to mind right away as guys who fought a lot.
