Kid McCoy
Charles "Kid" McCoy, who was born Norman Selby (October 13, 1872 – April 18, 1940) was an American world champion boxer. ==Overview== Born in Moscow, Rush County, Indiana, McCoy would eventually weigh 160 pounds, stand 5' 11", and go on to a record 81 wins (55 by KO, with 6 losses, 9 no decision, and 6 disqualifications). McCoy was noted for his "corkscrew punch"–a blow delivered with a twisting of the wrist. According to McCoy, he learned the punch one evening while resting in someone's barn after a day of riding the rails. He noticed a cat strike at a ball of string and imitated its actions. Whether true or not, McCoy was known as a fast, "scientific" fighter who would cut his opponents with sharp blows. He reportedly would wrap his knuckles in mounds of friction tape, to better cut his opponents faces. He was listed # 1 Light Heavyweight of all time in ''Fifty Years At Ringside'', published in 1958. He was also regarded as a formidable puncher, and was included in ''Ring Magazine's'' list of 100 greatest punchers of all time.
