    I gotta go with Bob Fitzsimmons. Never knew what the skinny dude would come up with next. Obviously I am going on reputation. I am old, but not old enough to remember him. LOL

    From what I've read and highlights I've seen of them; Jack Johnson & Kid Chocolate.

    Joe Walcott, Harry Greb, Gene Tunney and George Dixon also come straight to mind pre 1930.

    Terrible Terry McGovern had a short but intense career, that sometimes gone unnoticed.

    Sammy Langford is arguably a top five all-time great.

    I read up on Jem Mace, a huge influence on modern boxing. Without Mace, there would be no sport as we know it today, Mace was not just Boxing's but Sport's first global superstar.

    I got a Battling Siki book at home, a pretty hard read, but the Norfolk fight sounds brutal...
