- Highlights of the exciting great and technically sound Jimmy Bivins.
Jimmy Bivins - Was an American heavyweight boxer whose professional career ran from 1940 to 1955. He was born in Dry Branch, Georgia. Although he was never given the opportunity to fight for a world title, despite at one point being the number one contender in both the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions, Bivins fought and defeated many of the great fighters of his era and won the "Duration" Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight titles. In recognition of his achievements in the ring - among other things, he defeated eight of the eleven world champions he faced - Bivins was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1999. He was also the one-time husband of Dollree Mapp, the subject of prominent Supreme Court case regarding the rights of search and seizures.

Thank you all for honoring my great grandfather he was he was the greatest #1 he was powerful and wise a humble child of GOD Almighty he was a King warrior never letting the world and the ole Spiritual fight beat him he fought to the end of his life and by decision and my eyes he won the war !
He had a Military Funeral. With a Bugler blowing Taps. And I gave him a Ten Count with a bell. Had to look out for my fellow Veteran....
Leonte Bivins He was a tremendous boxer
Leonte Bivins Jimmy Bivins is my cousin
Leone Bivins, very well said about a great man and a beautiful boxer, he pulled no punches and fought everybody around during his era
That's awesome! Great fighter, great man.
Hard to believe Bivins never got a title shot... He fought everyone
He's the classic case of ' too good for your own good '. Imagine winning against a legend Ezzard Charles in just 15 fights, that says a lot.
@@ralphdupas6179 how old was Charles in that? I didn't knew this
@@Nimvarstill young,but welp, Ezzard later avenged that.
It is sad some guys just don't get more attention.
Young Stribling is another example.
Great video.
I trained a little under him in 1989 at St. Malachy church gym. Great man and trainer. Funny, nice and great story teller. Honor to know him.
That's awesome. Must have been a great experience
Jimmy Bivens was my cousin. He was a beautiful soul
That's amazing he was my great uncle but his name is spelled Bivins not bivens

Too bad there isn't more video available of these great heavyweights. Some folks have them but won't share with boxing fans. There should be a library somewhere that would have them all online for a modest fee.
Thank u Ray Arcel for bringing me here
The Sam Langford of his era. He beat many world champions and all comers, and yet was never given an opportunity to fight for a world title. He was number 1 contender for both the light heavyweight and world heavyweight titles!!!
He had a 76 inch reach at 5’9
Can you make a video for 'Big' Joe Bugner- he faced just about everyone in the 70s... a very capable challenger, never got the respect he deserved in Britain. Thanks!
gj man! u should make more highlights of fighters from the 30's 40's
The mob stoped a lot of good fighters getting title shot its crying shame
He had freakishly long arms
RIP
Sadly, just another fighter born at the wrong time. Would have had a field day today.
Hanza, can we expect any video of Vernon Forrest?
I made one a few years ago but had to unlist it due to a few copyright issues. Here it is though: th-cam.com/video/20UcdjDrcOo/w-d-xo.html
@@hanzagod Thank you Mate, amazing video as usual. Whos are your favorite fighters?
@@snofi69 Here's the full playlist of my favourite fighters bud: th-cam.com/play/PLfbjKz220Evvgx4zjC82IeEo56v8l-Sjc.html So many more on top of these though it was almost impossible to create a list.
@@hanzagod Wow, you reminded me how superb Harada, Pryor, McLellan, Galaxy, Foster, Steele, and Moore were. Toney's style was quite similar to Moore's. Monson’s cross was incredible. I think Ali was the best of all time, because He held all the attributes that a great champion must possess. Of course, it’s my opinion and kind of subjective, we cannot come to the conclusion who was the best of all greats. My top 10 list would look like this: Ali, Leonard, Duran, Hagler, Robinson, Salvador Sanchez, Archie Moore, Roy Jones, Joe Louis, Manny Pacquiao. I absolutely understand why you have chosen Liston as Nr. 1, His style was overwhelming, and he was a true master of the Bob & Weave. Very good list Mate, thanks for sharing this video, I very much enjoyed it
I love my ohio boxers. Jimmy bivins was a amazing fighter. He held wins over Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles (the greatest ohio boxer), Charlie burley, and Joey maximum (another ohio great). Most people might not know Jimmy bivins but I do. What he lacked in power he made up for in his unquestionable skills and defense.

Racism in boxing was the reason he never got a title shot
