The Wisdom of Jimmy Wilde

[IamInuit]

It's always amazed me that he was self taught. He must have been a good teacher to himself because he only lost 5 in the recognized 134 fights he had. Two of the three stoppages at the end of his career when he was a shadow of his formal self. One of his losses tabbed by the press. A hundred stoppages on his ledger. If one includes his booth fights, he probably fought well over 400 times. Biggest puncher in the history of the sport imo regardless of weight.

Yup. I mean how the hell does one end up self-taught and rarely lose? Crazy.
