Jimmy McLarnin defeated these thirteen men a total of sixteen times. He fought these thirteen men 23 times.

Now here's the magic. McLarnin only fought 68 fights!

Consider this. We don't think this man deserves the status of our Immortals (I agree).

Then ask how many men in the last 25 years have done anything anywhere close to what Jimmy McLarnin did.

The more you posts these, the I worse I feel about the sport today lol

In some ways I am trying to anger the current fan into demanding MORE of their favorites.

there are too many fights today just to pad records. i respect mclarin way more than i do these other undefeated fighters today because they wouldnt have very good records if they fought against this type of opposition.

McLarnin was a frieking beast

marble..did jimmy start fighting as a bantam.
