Fame in Fiction
"Lando" western by Louis L'Amour calls him "the world champion prize fighter, an Englishman and a gypsy. He whipped the best of them, and he was not a large man, but he was among the first to apply science to the art of fist fighting." "By footwork you can shift a man out of position... Certain blows automatically create openings for the blows to follow." (Lando p294) "Never weighing more than 160 pounds, he had been the world's champion, defeating men as much as 60 poiunds heavier." (Lando, p495).
