Nope, that one is the most famous Sullivan prizefighter of all, John L. Sullivan. That's not the right Sullivan for the fight I have information on. Neither is it Yankee Sullivan, although at least Yankee was in the correct era and age range. But it was some other Sullivan that fought the fight my g-g-grandfather witnessed. I have tried to find sources that document fighters by the name of Sullivan with no luck. I have consulted boxing historians and other relevant authorities. No luck identifying the fighter, but a lot of really neat information. But still no I.D. on this particular Mr. Sullivan.

Thanks for trying. I appreciate it.
