    Dude was yoked.

    Fought everybody from Joe Jeanette to Tommy Gibbons to Sam Langford to Stanley Ketchell to Jack Dempsey to Fred Fulton (3 times!)... He didn't have many easy nights.

    Any stories? Insights?

    From google images, dude had a six-pack way before that was cool. I wish I could be so ‘porky.’

    Depending on your source, he either liked to eat pork or worked in a sausage factory (although two things can be true), so the name had nothing to do with his physique.

    @Senya13 has some contemporary accounts of Mr. Flynn’s escapades in this thread:

    For some reason I always imagine Porky, as having the build of Two Ton Tony!
