    JImmy Wilde didnt lose in his first 102 fights, and in a career spanning 13 years and 152 fights he only lost 5 times! 2 loses came at the end of his carrer when he had already had 150 fights! Can his record be beaten, is his record of 102 fights undefeated a record? if not whose is better?

    The original 'Ghost with a hammer in his hands', what a legend, those guys back then were real hard men, the number of rounds they used to fight, the regularity and the ferocity was incredible!

    Had the name been taken before him, if it did it certainly wasnt anyone as famous as him for sure.

    Name them please. He beat one single fighter who could be classified as "great" in Joe Lynch. His opponents were bigger than he, but the quality of them is quite overrated.
