	Billy Miske - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Miske fought his last bout against Bill Brennan, whom he met on November 7, 1923.
		Miske's enduring legacy is that of an underappreciated fighter.
		It is argued that Miske deserved, but never received, title matches against Jack Dillon, Battling Levinsky and Georges Carpentier.

		Billy Miske ”Slick as a Whistle and Swift as a Breeze”
		Miske was so highly regarded as a light-heavyweight in those days that Kid Norfolk claimed the World Light-Heavyweight Championship after narrowly defeating him in 1917 (this was Billy’s only official loss other than the one to Dempsey).
		Barton asserted that Miske was “a boxer with a great fighting heart” and concluded by saying, “Maybe someone can name a gamer boxer than Billy Miske.

	BILLY MISKE’S LAST FIGHT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Billy was far too ill to train for the fight.
		For 12 1/2 minutes Billy was not a dying man, even to himself: he was Billy Miske, "the St. Paul Thunderbolt." It was all there -- aggressiveness, the nimble footwork, the "nitroglycerine" punches.
		As Billy Miske's arm was raised in the victor's salute he smiled, for the last time, at the crowd.

		Miske landed one left hook on Dempsey's jaw, but Dempsey's relentless pounding put Miske down for the count, the first time and only time Miske was knocked out.
		Miske was too weak to train for the bout, but somehow he summoned the strength to knock Brennan out in the fourth round.
		I have a feeling Billy Miske wouldn't have much time for all this bickering about whether it should be a “Christmas sale” or a “holiday sale.” He was too busy worrying about what he could give his family, even as death had him on the ropes.
