Name the fighter who has had the longest career.
Jack Smith 1886 to 1926 if it's the same guy.
This would depend on how you’re counting. If your counting from there 1st fight to there last, it would be Saoul Mamby (1969-2008). If your counting consecutive years, it’s Kid Azteca, 33 years (1929 - 1961). If you want to go back to the bare-knuckle days, Jem Mace fought from 1855 to 1890, Daniel Mendoza fought from 1786 to 1820. Tom Faulkner is said to have fought from 1756 to 1791. Also, some sources say that Bobby Dobbs fought from 1875 to 1914, which would match Mamby, but if this is true, he would have been 5 or 6 years old when he had his 1st fight..

Who was the first to wear a gumshield?
Ted Kid Lewis
The "gum shield" was invented by London dentist Jack Marles in 1902. It was intended for use during training so a fighter wouldn't get injured before the fight. (It didn't seem important to protect his mouth during a bout, since the object was to inflict injury) It was more than 7 years before anyone used the gum shield on a regular basis, and that was English fighter Ted "Kid" Lewis (1909-29, 170-30-14). Lewis was twice welterweight champion, 1915-16 and 1917-19. Legend has it that Lewis had an overbite and his lips were often cut by his teeth, though pictures of him don't show any obvious overbite.

# 8: Ernie Smith (55)

With the name of Jack Smith, I'm not sure if this is the same guy for 40 years. On his record he fought Heavyweight Peter Maher and Bantamweight Jimmy Barry 4 months a part in 1891 & 1892. In 1912 he fought Heavyweight Gunboat Smith then 2 months later he fought Lightweight Italian Joe Gans. He also fought Light Heavyweight Tommy Loughran in 1924. I will put him in But again, I really don't know if this is the same fighter from 1886 to 1926.

I didn't count Leo Houck because he really isn't in the HOF until June, But we could include him anyway. I even voted for him.

Ernie Smith, I forgot about him. I was thinking about a Smith that had a long losing streak but I couldn't think of his 1st name.

I up-dated the answers to include all 3.

You're right; whether it's the same Jack Smith in the first fight and the last, is of course impossible to say - and there certainly must have been a mix-up or two in between.

He's listed as a middleweight, so I suspect the 140½ lbs boxer who fought Italian Joe Gans more than 25 years into his career, isn't our man - and the boxer who met Peter Maher, can't possibly be the Jack Smith who fought tiny Jimmy Barry 3½ months later!
