Any boxer who fought professionally to a high level is likely to have received significant coverage, and a boxer with a record like this is certainly of encyclopedic interest. Web coverage of a boxer who fought so long ago is likely to be sketchy, but there are still several sources out there, e.g. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/local-news/sad-loss-for-family-and-boxing-1183958 ''Manchester Evening News'': "was one of Manchester's top boxers in the 60s, fighting for the British title", http://www.britishpathe.com/video/lonsdale-belt-for-johnny-pritchett ''Pathe News'' report on his British middleweight title fight with Johnny Pritchett, http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2507&dat=19650406&id=ymJAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=kqMMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2920,896280 ''The Glasgow Herald'' report on his defeat of Willie Fisher, http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/1367307/ ''The Ottawa Herald'', http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=SXtGAAAAIBAJ&sjid=-OgMAAAAIBAJ&pg=4716,5108218&dq=nat-jacobs+boxing&hl=en small piece from the ''Schenectady Gazette'', http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=vxZVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=bpMDAAAAIBAJ&pg=1322,3004276&dq=nat-jacobs+boxing&hl=en ''The Age'' article on one of his BBC-filmed fights being shown in Australia, http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=g5xAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=FqUMAAAAIBAJ&pg=4480,2523425&dq=nat-jacobs+boxing&hl=en ''Glasgow Herald'' article previewing his fight with Ralph Charles, http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=cuMlAAAAIBAJ&sjid=__QFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2827,5427544&dq=nat-jacobs+boxing&hl=en ''Baltimore Afro-American'': "Bookmakers Hate Nat Jacobs", http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=KuNAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7KYMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2655,175369&dq=nat-jacobs+boxing&hl=en short ''Evening Times'' article. There are others behind paywalls.  does not appear to be based on genuine consensus, and is well out of step with guidelines on other sports, so should be taken with a pinch of salt
