A legend who Never lost a fight.

Purely a guess, but I'm thinkin' he suffered an injury in his last fight.

Not much else could explain it...unless he won the lottery.

You know, I wonder how many other Bob Fong Wong's are out there.

Since they never had a chance to prove themselves, and the sport is so dangerous,

there must be "missing legends" in high numbers.

Just Lady Luck robbing some, while gifting others.

How about a thread on Chinese-American boxers?

Just assuming Bob Fong Wong was of Chinese extraction.

It's also plausible that Bob lost both his arms in a combine accident late in the summer of 64. He tried to come back wearing a single glove on his head but the bastards wouldn't license him. Forced to fight on the unlicensed circuit he would go on to loose every fight except his last one, a boring 10 round draw vs "legless" Joe Jackson in 2010. Fong Wong then retired at the ripe age of 70 with a 0-1-145 record sans arms.
