标题：约翰·L·沙利文
职业生涯
约翰·L·沙利文[1]，职业生涯自1878年至1892年9月7日（参加表演比赛至1905年3月1日），职业战绩是38胜1负2平，其中33场将对手击倒，实际上的比赛场次要多于两倍。沙利文是19世纪美国体育界最伟大的英雄人物。作为爱尔兰移民之子，沙利文以波士顿为中心开始了他的拳击生涯，他超人的气势和压倒一切的力量使他在拳坛崭露头角。  [2]
约翰·L·沙利文出生在马萨诸塞州，父母是迈克尔·沙利文何凯瑟琳·凯利。年轻的沙利文赏金请人和他进行搏击表演，胜了可以赢走赏金，正因此，他多次因非法斗殴而被捕。1879年，当他挑战任何美国打他500美元，沙利文已经赢得了超过450名战斗在他的职业生涯。
在1883年 - 1884年沙利文来到一个海岸到海岸旅游列车与其他五名拳手。据预计，包括超过238天，在136个不同的城市和城镇的195表演。为了有助于促进旅游，苏利文宣布，他将昆斯伯里规则的 250美元下参观过程中任何人在任何时候框。他在游览期间淘汰11个男人。
1882年2月7日，沙利文打败帕迪·赖恩，获得世界重量级冠军，成为现代拳击进入正规化以来的第一位世界（重量级）拳王；1892年9月7日，输给詹姆斯·J·科贝特，卫冕失利。
1882年，沙利文仅用了9个回合（即10分30秒内），击败世界重量级冠军帕迪·赖恩，成为新的世界重量级拳坛领袖人物，他因此得到了一条由拳迷捐款制作的镶有397颗钻石的冠军金腰带。当时，沙利文被认为是徒手拳击最棒的世界重量级冠军，他开创了职业拳击之路，他的进攻和防守都很出色，尤其是他的重拳令许多拳手闻风丧胆。1892年，沙利文与詹姆斯·J·科贝特进行的拳击史上第一场戴手套的世界重量级拳王争霸战，输给对手，爆出冷门。[3]
