    Born in Boston to first generation Irish Parents. Definitely one of the fighting Irish but he was a proud American too.

    You have to scribe the news story on here! I mean this man is a legend. The founding father of heavyweight history.

    There's every chance if his full record ever got completely unearthed he'd be considered a top ten heavyweight or higher.
