    My name suggested royalty. I could fight, and i beat many great fighters
    of my time. I also hold a sole distinction in my boxing career which may
    NEVER be duplicated again.In my retirement I was all "tied up ".
    Who was I ?

    Henry, right you are. King Levinsky. For a time he was managed by his sister "leaping Lena ".
    Levinsky holds one record. He is the only fighter carried INTO the Ring in his bout with Joe Louis in 1935 ! Who can blame him ?:good
