Jimmy "Baby Face" McLarnin 54(20)-11-3
Manager: Sharkey
In 77 career bouts, Jimmy McLarnin met 15 world champions and five fellow Hall-of-Famers. On five occasions, McLarnin beat a reigning world champion in a non-title bout. The Ring magazine (1996) rated McLarnin the 5th best welterweight of all time.
Incredibly, he’s in the HOF. How did a Canadian make it to such an elite group you ask? Well, while doing the research for McLarnin’s bios, fellow colleague “Huckleberry Hound” (real identity hidden for his protection) informed me that Jimmy bribed his way into the IBHOF by using every single penny of the $286,000 left to him by his former trainer Pop Foster when he passed away. Shameful indeed if you ask me.
