    Clearly, Muhammad Ali.

    Bare-Knuckle fighter you say?!

    John Randall? Dutch Sam? Tom Johnson? Tom Hyer?

    henry hascup has contacted me with the right answer. Evidently he is no longer posting on ESB.

    B, indirectly because of John Henry Lewis, I became a boxing buff. As posted before as a very young boy , my family lived next door to a trainer of John Henry Lewis. Every night I would go next door and spar with some fighters in JH Lewis's stable. I would eat salads with the stablemates ,and ask questions about boxing in general. I never saw the great man himself,but his trainer and my family became good friends. Cheers.
