    I once held the world record in the shot put. I played in the National Football League on a famous championship team. But in boxing my winning streak was snapped when I was knocked out by a man who later went on to fight for the heavyweight championship. Who am I?

    Jack Torrance

    He lost to Abe Simon, who went on to challenge Louis twice for the HW championship.
