Billy Miske Boxer
Billy Miske, alias The Saint Paul Thunderbolt (April 12, 1894 - January 1, 1924), was a professional boxer from Saint Paul, Minnesota. During his tenure as a pugilist he had multiple-bout series with a plethora of all-time greats including Harry Greb, Jack Dempsey, Jack Dillon, Tommy Gibbons, and Battling Levinsky, among others. Despite a career shortened by illness and an early death, statistical website BoxRec still lists Miske as the #26 ranked heavyweight of all-time.
