It was Joey Maxim, who, incidentally, worked at the Silver Slipper casino in Las Vegas in the mid 80s. He ran a wheel right inside the door and i was fortunate enough to meet him. But look at who he fought in consecutive fights:
5/30/51 Ezzard Charles
8/22/51 Bob Murphy (60-5-1)
12/12/51 Ezzard Charles

12/17/52 Archie Moore
3/4/53 Danny Nardico (44-8-4)
6/24/53 Archie moore
