    Name: Jack Sharkey Career Record: click Alias: Boston Gob Birth Name: Joseph Paul Zukauskas Nationality: US American Birthplace: Binghamton, NY Hometown: Boston, MA Born: 1902-10-06 Died: 1994-08-17 Age at Death: 91 Stance: Orthodox Height: 6′ 0″ Reach: 72 inches Division: Heavyweight Trainer: Tony Polazzolo Manager: Johnny Buckley Annotated Fight Record Photo (with megaphone) Biography Overview A fast and well-schooled fighter with no lack of heart and determination, Jack Sharkey is nonetheless overshadowed by the other heavyweight champions of his era. Sharkey’s indefatigable willingness to fight any opponent is best illustrated by his distinction in being the only man to have faced both Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis in prizefights. Though he consistently fought the best, Jack did not always win when up against the true upper crust of the division. In fact, his finest performances are perhaps his losses to Dempsey and Max Schmeling. Outspoken about his own confidence in his abilities and often surly or uncooperative in business, Jack had the talent to back up his ego. He remained a constant presence at or near the top of the heavyweight division for nearly a decade and solidified in his place in boxing lore by becoming heavyweight champion. Early Years Born Joseph Paul Zukauskas, the son of Lithuanian immigrants, Sharkey was born in Binghamton, New York but moved to Boston, Massachusetts as a young man. Sources report little of his early life until, at the outset of the First World War, teenaged Joseph repeatedly tried to enlist in the Navy. Turned down because of his age, he was not able to enlist until after the end of the war.

He was the brother of World Welterweight Champion Joe Dundee. He was stricken with multiple sclerosis in 1942, and died at a Glendale, California sanitarium in 1949. He was survived by his wife, Connie; son, Vince Jr.; and father, Louis Lazzara of Boston. Trivia: He survived a collision with a train that hurled his automobile several hundred feet not long after his boxing career had ended. The Corsicana Daily Sun 6 December 1933 IT was a month or so ago that Vincent Dundee of Newark stepped into the resin pit at the Boston Garden to face Lefty Louis Brouillard, sawed-off southpaw slugger then generally recognized in the East as middleweight champion. The sad-eyed Newark Italian was a 1 to 2 underdog in the betting, with few takers at any price. The experts wore unanimous in picking the pudgy Brouillard to retain his title, some going so far as to predict that the rather shop- worn Mister Dundee would be gazing up at the arena's ceiling from a horizontal position before the final bell clanged. But the melancholy Vincent, unmindful of such hostile critics, proceeded to pour about five million straight lefts into Brouillard's scowling pan, taking practically every round, to win the bout and the title by a ridiculously wide margin.

By Robert Edgren The trick that kid McCoy played on foxy Tommy Ryan was one of the funniest things that ever happened in the ring. McCoy and Ryan were two of the trickiest fighting men on record. When they met it was a battle of wits. Ryan didn't know it the first time he ran up against McCoy. And 2 in that the scheming Kid had an advantage, for he knew Ryan to a hair and laid his plans accordingly. Tommy Ryan was already a top-notcher when it happened, he was separated from the middle- weight title only by the existence of one Bob Fitzsimmons, who was quite an obstacle. But he had whipped most of the other good ones. As for McCoy, he was an almost unknown novice. He had run away from home a couple of years before to take up fighting, and had put up a few fairly good scraps around the country. HOW TOMMY RYAN WAS BEATEN BY "KID" M'COY McCoy was a bright man. Being bright he didn't think he knew it all. He knew that Fitzsimmons was a master. So while Fitz was training down in Louisiana "Kid" McCoy appeared at his camp one day and was employed as a cook's assistant and general utility man.
