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

Originally posted by WikipediaAfter vacating the Middleweight crown, Fitzsimmons began campaigning among Heavyweights (the light-heavyweight division did not exist at that time). 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.
