    Was Joe Grim the Toughest Guy in Boxing History?

    - -Fought a who's who of HOFers and era contenders to a standstill without winning.

    He'd stand in the middle of the ring all busted up and, paraphrased, "I am Joe grim and fear no man."

          He had a 2 fight win streak in 1904 : ) I've read a bit about him. Legendary for getting back up after being knocked down multiple times and finishing fights after taking tremendous punishment. Seems like a real character and a book about him would be interesting.Unfortunately I don't think there is alot out there about him is there ? The turtle neck sweater in that Boxrec picture is definitely cool. Tough guy wear back then.

            - -Looks to have an oversized left ear, for what genetic purpose?

            Didn't live to see 50, but then again that was a dire period of mortality.

                Walker and Greb had high end skills for offense and defense. Grim lacked even the bare minimum of a lower order journeyman...Duh!!!
