Sullivan & Sullivan

John L. Sullivan, left, bare-knuckle bout

John Lawrence Sullivan (October 15, 1858 - February2, 1918) was a boxing inmortal, the link between bare knuckles and glove fighting, and the first great American sports idol. He was powerful, quick, could hit with either hand but had exceptional strength in his right, and could take punishment. John L. could break a man's jaw with a single punch. He is still considered by some historians to be one of the best heavyweights ever; Sullivan was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1954 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990.
