 | | Jack, whose real name was Sidney Walker, was born in Augusta, Ga. As great as he would become, he would never surpass the notoriety of another Augusta native, golf legend, Bobby Jones. |
 | | Jack took a 10-round decision in the non-title fight, but the sellout crowd produced a still record gate of $35,000,000 -- with the proceeds going towards War Bonds. |
 | | Jack fought once more for the lightweight title, in 1948, and was stopped by the heavy-handed Williams in the sixth round. |
