      I'm glad someone mentioned him and rightly so. That guy did a lot of 'firsts' in boxing.

      Did you know Wyatt Earp refereed one of his fights back in the late 18th century.

        Yes only fighter to beat Robinson in Robinson 20's and only fighter to beat Robinson in Robinson first 135 fights.

        Also beat Fritzie Zivic, Tommy Bell, Tony Janiro, and Bob Murphy.

            I got a lot of respect for Bob.

            I had no idea about that Earp thing, is that really true?

            If so it's gotta be one of the most badass boxing related things I've ever heard.

            Yes only fighter to beat Robinson in Robinson 20's and only fighter to beat Robinson in Robinson first 135 fights.

            Alright, just wanted to get some reasoning for it.

                There's no such thing as a correct opinion, my man.

Wyatt Earp, the famous lawman, refereed one of his fights, against Tom Sharkey. Fitzsimmons battered Sharkey and had him on the verge of a knock-out, but when he hit him with a body-and-head punch-combination Earp declared him the loser on a disqualification because he had hit Sharkey while Sharkey was down. Earp, according to a widespread belief, had involvement with gamblers who had bet on Sharkey.
