In the late 1890s, when boxing was rivaling the popularity of baseball, George Dixon and Terry McGovern were among its most famous practitioners. Their paths crossed in 1900 in what is widely considered the most significant featherweight bout in history. Both men were journeyman fighters who died young under distressing circumstances.
