Famous for never training or  doing any roadwork whatsoever. He ate whatever and whenever he wanted. Fought in all divisions  from flyweight to heavyweight. As a rotund heavyweight, it was said, "..He is so fat, blows do not make an impression on him, and he is so awkward, that even the cleverest of opponents can find no way to reach him effectively..." After his boxing career, Meehan became a production electrician for Hollywood movie studios.
