    Might it be the Kingfish himself?
    King Levinsky who was kayoed in 1 by Louis, saying afterwards that his body felt all "mum".
    And he fought Dempsey in an exh., beating the maneater so bad that Jack aborted his plans for a comeback.

    One name that comes to mind is King Tut, who once KO'd Billy Petrolle and lost to Mike Dundee and Ceferino Garcia, though they probably don't qualify as ring immortals.

    Doesn't get much more colourful than this:
