    Corbett knocked out Sullivan in the 21st round. He was called "The Father of Modern Boxing" because of his technique. That was Sullivan's only loss. Sullivan was the last bare knuckle and first gloved Champ.

    They say when Sullivan entered a bar he would offer anyone who thought they were tough a fight. He sounds like a mad man:yep

    I think Dempsey said something like that too.

    "I'd lick any bum in the place!".
