Mysterious Billy Smith
Mysterious Billy Smith (born Amos M. Smith, May 15, 1871 – October 15, 1937), was a Canadian boxer. He adopted the name “Billy” before turning professional in 1890. He acquired his nickname when a newspaper reporter questioned, “Who is this mysterious Billy Smith?”
==Biography==
Smith turned pro in 1890, and in his ninth fight knocked out Danny Needham to win the welterweight championship in 1892. He held on to it until Tommy Ryan beat him on points in 1894. He won back the vacant title in 1898 by beating Matty Matthews, and lost it again in 1900 to Rube Ferns. Smith bowed out in 1915 when stopped by Jack Root. During his career, Smith scored wins over Young Peter Jackson, Hall of Famers “Barbados” Joe Walcott and George “Kid” Lavigne.
Smith died at the age of 66 in Portland, Oregon, where he ran a saloon called “The Champion's Rest.”
He was posthumously inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2009.
