    got it....great picture too considering the year...

    ...............................


    Lightweight boxing champ "Bat" Nelson in 1911. After retiring from the ring, Bat (short for Battling; aka the Durable Dane, born Oscar Nielsen) dabbled in fight promotion and vaudeville. In January 1954, "a pathetic little man of 80 pounds, his mind a complete blank," Bat was committed to the Chicago State Hospital; a month later he was dead of lung cancer at age 71. With 68 wins, 19 draws and 19 losses, Bat once said that although he had "lost several fights," he had never been beaten...

    both wolgast and nelson lost their marbles later on in life and were training for imaginary fights in their respective asylums.
    which one of these 2 warriors said in a fight to the referee
    ' don't we have any rules at all '
    they may even have been fighting one another
