Jimmy Bivins

Jimmy Bivins was a durable and long-lasting world-class fighter:

who fought as a light heavy until he was about 24 years old and then as a small heavyweight for the rest of his career. He ended up with 112 fights and had good rivalries with several excellent light heavyweights and heavyweights in the 1940s and early to mid 1950s. Archie Moore and Ezzard Charles usually got the better of him but he did rather well against most of his other opponents.

Sept. 1947: Moore by 9th round ko
