...Sullivan in 21 rounds in New Orleans, after politely contradicting, in a Chicago saloon, Sullivan's famed boast: "I can lick any son of a in the world." After losing the title to Bob Fitzsimmons, trying unsuccessfully to win it back in two fights against his onetime sparring partner, Jim Jeffries, he earned a living by acting (Gentleman Jack, After Dark: or Neither Maid, Wife, nor Widow), owning a Manhattan restaurant, writing (The Roar of the Crowd...
