Trivia: Who am I?

[Controversial]

I know Bundana is coming up with a question soon but thought I jump in with another. Should be fairly easy to get though.

Who am I? I beat a former world champion, and at the time still a top contender and again to be a future world champion by an early stoppage. Before the fight I had the same amount of wins than I had losses. After this win I went 5-24-1.

They should bring back the ducking stool for dastardly chaps like you…

You got it mate, nice one.

He was a boxer too? Or is this a different bloke to the writer?

I thought this was a joke and tried to remember a boxing scene from his work...but it's been 15 years since I read High Cotton.

Okay, different guys...

I hate both of you now...and the Pinckneys too...
