    In a long career I met a dozen men, who held world titles or are members of the IBHOF.
    I was ko'd by one of them, in each of 3 different decades.

    Who am I?

    Edit Clue:
    Our man is a member of the small, select group of boxers, who were active (at least one pro fight) for 25 consecutive years.

    Jack was active in the 30s, 40s and 50s, but he never lost during the first decade... so it can't be him.

    I would say Fireman Jim Flynn, who was KO'd by Sam Langford in 1908, 1910, and 1923.
