    Al McCoy held the Maine state championship in each weight classification, so says Ripley's Believe It or Not!.

    Is Al McCoy the guy where the phrase the real mccoy came from. Apparently he would throw matches and someone asked whether this was the real McCoy they were seeing in the ring. Or am i mixed up with another McCoy
